Stay connected day 3! I know that this was an interesting fact for me to learn. Most people with hearing loss can hear the words loud enough, but have trouble understanding what people are saying. Speaking slower and enunciating can help those with hearing loss understand what you are saying more than increasing volume.

Day 2 of staying connected! Did you know that approximately 70% of communication is nonverbal? This includes hand gestures, facial expressions, etc.. This is another way we can stay connected to those with hearing loss. Make sure that when you're facing them, you're offering nonverbal cues to help them follow along with the conversation, especially if their hearing loss is severe. They will appreciate it!

We would like to wish everyone a safe and happy Fourth of July! We would like to thank Westone for this important article on how important it is to protect your hearing during this festive time. Here's an excerpt:

"Here are a few ways to protect your hearing this holiday weekend:
1. Use hearing protection. Whether you are launching your own fireworks or attending a public show, bringing along hearing protection is the smartest and simplest way to ensure you don't suffer any hearing damage.
2. Keep a safe distance away. It's easier to keep some distance between you and the explosions at a public show. But if you're setting off your own firecrackers, be vigilant and use hearing protection if you cannot be more than 500 feet away from the launch site.
3. Buy lower noise level fireworks. All fireworks you can purchase come with a noise level rating. Look for the ones with the lowest rating. Louder does not mean better. You can still have a gorgeous show without the risk of hearing loss.
4. Check in with your ears. If you start to feel any pain, discomfort, or ringing in your ears, it's time to stop. Leave the noisy area right away."
