Our Heber team had a blast dressing up for Halloween yesterday! 🎃 From creative costumes to spooky treats, we loved getting into the spirit of the season. We hope our patients enjoyed a festive and fun Halloween as well!

Happy Halloween! 🎃 Are you heading to any family gatherings tonight? Here are some tips to help everyone communicate better when hearing loss is involved:

1. Face the Person You're Speaking With: Position yourself so you can see each other's faces clearly. This helps with lip-reading and understanding.

2. Reduce Background Noise: Choose a quieter spot for conversations or turn down the music. This allows for better focus on what’s being said.

3. Use Clear and Simple Language: Speak clearly at a moderate pace and avoid covering your mouth. Use gestures and visual cues to help convey your message. If someone misses something, try rephrasing instead of repeating.

Enjoy the festivities and remember, clear communication makes for a more inclusive gathering for those that struggle with hearing loss! 👂🩵🧡
