· Try to sit with your better ear closer to the sound
source, if possible.
· Become familiar with the program in advance
to make it easier to follow.
· If your hearing is similar in both ears, sit in the middle.
· If you wear a Nano RITE inquire if a loop is available.

available, sit towards the front.

you have heard and ask for the missing information.
At Home

contact when conversing.
· Teach your family how to involve you in
conversations.
