	Attachment E: Communication Tips with Individuals Who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing or Deaf-Blind
		The person who is deaf or hard of hearing is the one to whom you are speaking.
		Both the speaker and the interpreter should stand in front of a solid color background that contrasts with the interpreter's complexion and has sufficient lighting on the interpreter for the person who is deaf or hard of hearing to see him or her.
		Because a person who is hard of hearing relies heavily on residual hearing for communication, you should speak clearly and try to get away from distracting noises.

	Resolving Hearing Loss Problems in the Workplace (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		We are using the familiar term "hearing loss" with the recognition that, while most people who are hard of hearing have indeed lost their hearing over time, some individuals were born without normal hearing and never had it to lose.
		All levels of hearing loss, from slight to profound, produce problems in hearing and/or understanding what is being said and problems in hearing and making sense of environmental sounds; e.g., alarms or telephones, depending on the situational conditions in which the speech or other sounds are presented.
		A person with a mild hearing loss in a noisy, highly distracting environment may be at a greater disadvantage than a person with a more severe hearing loss in a quiet environment with few distractions.

		With hearing loss caused by exposure to loud noises, the ability to hear high pitch sounds is the first to go.
		Hearing aids also need to be repaired or replaced every few years, and the batteries are expensive.
		With a hearing loss you may be able to hear music or the TV if the volume is turned up high, but it may sound more like noise than normal music or conversation.

	MEI: Patients with Hearing Aids Patient Brochure
		A hearing impairment that is confined to one ear deproves a person of the ability to distinguish the direction of sound.
		The hard of hearing person should be aware that it is impossible to see certain words on the lips and therefore he will continuously need to fill in "gaps" in words and in sentences.
		In some hearing aids an induction coil is an integral part of the aid, and the cordless portion of the telephone is placed in contact with the case of the aid.

	League Mental Health Services: Learning To Live With a Person Who is Deaf or Hard of Hearing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Most hearing people think that the experience of being deaf or hard of hearing only affects the volume of sound, and they imagine that the experience of deafness is a total absence of sound.
		What most hearing people can't understand is that even when volume is increased the ability of the person with the hearing loss to tell the difference between sounds -- to discriminate different speech sounds, decipher and know what the different sounds "mean"-- may not improve.
		Then the person can seek appropriate medical attention, the assistance of a licensed audiologist, and be fitted for appropriate hearing aids, and openly discuss the hearing loss with family, friends, and fellow employees.

	A Primer
		Depending on the degree of hearing loss, deaf individuals may be able to use hearing aids to help understand speech sounds, monitor the loudness of their own voices and/or recognize environmental sounds.
		The person is not being rude; too much caution before "jumping in" may mean the deaf person never gets to participate at all, or may make a comment too late for it to be on topic.
		A deaf person would consider it impolite for someone to interrupt a conversation in order to ask to pass by, yet a hearing person would consider it impolite for someone to just walk between two people having a conversation.

	Getting Through: Talking to a Person who is Hard of Hearing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Background sounds that may barely register in a normal hearing person's consciousness may be loud enough to severely impact upon the speech understanding of someone with a hearing loss.
		Unlike people with perfectly normal hearing, a hearing loss may affect their ability to quickly localize the source of a sound, which interferes with their ability to immediately focus their attention on the person talking.
		It is simply impossible, for example, for the hard of hearing person to talk to the person across the table, while the people to the right and life of him are having a separate conversation.

	Why Don't People Who Need Them Get Hearing Aids?
		One reason for this may be the insidious nature of some types of hearing loss, that is, that their hearing loss had a gradual onset, and they adapted to each slight reduction in hearing ability.
		Sometimes, the person is well aware that he or she has a hearing loss, but there are other things happening in their life that have a higher priority.
		But, the person may not see that the hearing loss is, in fact, contributing to the other problems, whether health or work-related, and that dealing with the hearing loss now may help with the other concerns.

		The person who is not proficient in English is not stupid or illiterate; he or she just uses a different language to communicate.
		If a person is speaking for themselves and you do not understand their speech, it is appropriate for you to ask them to repeat or even to write down what is being said.
		The hearing person also will need to say "GA" or “Go Ahead” to inform the operator to let the deaf person know it is their turn to speak.

	Hearing aids (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Hearing aids are devices that can amplify sound waves to help a deaf or hard-of-hearing person hear sounds more clearly.
		Hearing aids are either "monaural" (a hearing aid for one ear), or "binaural" (for two ears); more than 65% of all users have binaural aids.
		Hearing aids come in a wide range of styles and types, requiring careful testing to make sure the aid is the best choice for a particular hearing loss.

	Hearing Impairment
		Some babies are born with hearing impairment due to infections or illnesses that the mother had while she was pregnant, which can interfere with the development of the inner ear.
		Depending upon whether someone is born without hearing (congenital deafness) or loses his or her hearing later in life (after learning to hear and speak, which is known as post-lingual deafness), medical professionals will determine how much therapy the person needs to learn to use an implant effectively.
		For people who lose their hearing after learning to speak and hear, it can be difficult to adjust because hearing has been an essential aspect of their communication and relationships.

	An Educator's Guide to Hearing Disability Issues
		Only once the teacher understands what a hearing loss is, may they begin to comprehend how technology can benefit the hearing impaired individual and in some cases hamper or restrict learning for the person with a hearing disability.
		For example, many hearing impaired individuals cannot listen to live voice mail or on-line audio chat because amplification cannot be made loud enough or because the sound is not clear to the listener.
		Some hearing impaired individuals are not able to carry on a conversation on a regular telephone because they cannot adequately hear the conversation.

		The Hearing Dog concept, when applied to an Animal Shelter framework, has resulted in a unique and exciting combination, offering assistance to deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals, while at the same time, giving previously homeless animals a chance for useful lives of love and service.
		Particularly for those individuals who live alone or in households where there are no hearing people, it can be important that they be alerted to certain occurrences: a knock at the door, the buzz of a smoke detector or a fire alarm; the sound of a prowler.
		To apply for a Hearing Dog a person should have a serious hearing loss and be 18 years or older.

		This misconception can result in the person who is hard of hearing, assuming that he or she understands what is being said, when, in fact, they are either missing a lot or actually misunderstanding.
		In the former case the person with hearing loss knows that he or she did not get what was said.
		Then the person who is hard of hearing has to interrupt again to remind the speaker, and this cycle continues until one or both become tired of it and terminate the discussion.

	Options in Hearing Aids
		A simple hearing aid can amplify all the noise, not simply speech sounds, and the result is that the noise can drown out the speech that the hard of hearing person wants to understand.
		Compared to people with normal hearing, hard of hearing people need an increased "signal-to-noise" ratio (the desired speech "signal" needs to be louder than the surrounding "noise" in order for the hard of hearing person to understand speech).
		The best way to hear in noise is to bring one's "receiver" as close as possible to the source of the desired sound---the receiver can be the ear itself, the hearing aid, or the microphone of an assistive listening system (such as the microphone for an FM system, a hand-held amplifier, or a DAI microphone).

	Starkey Cetera Hearing Aid
		They believe that the hearing system of a normal hearing person can work so well in noisy situations because the brain uses location to separate out the desired signal from the noise.
		A normal hearing person can understand speech in restaurant noise when the noise is 6 dB louder than the speech they want to hear.
		For example, if their hearing threshold is 40 dB SPL and the loudest sound they find comfortable is 90 dB, then the hearing aid amplifies the quiet sounds up to the 40 dB level and compresses the loudest sounds down to 90 dB.

	Communication Tips for friends, family, and teachers of the hearing impaired
		None of us hear every single sound in a conversation but if we are familiar with the topic, we'll hear enough key sounds to fill in the gaps, even if the other person is talking very rapidly.
		A HOH (hard of hearing) person, who is not able to hear as many key sounds as we are, needs a stronger context to help compensate.
		Shouting can be very disruptive to the HOH person for two reasons: first, the HOH person, depending on the degree of hearing loss, may dwell in silence where ambient sounds we take for granted are severely reduced or absent.
