While you wait for hearing aids
If you are waiting for your hearing aids to be fitted, you could try other equipment to help you hear better.
Assistive listening devices include devices such as portable amplifiers that you can use to hear sounds more clearly. They are good for listening over background noise or from a distance.
You could also try learning some communication tactics with the people in your household. These include learning to lipread, asking people to get your attention before they start talking to you and asking people to speak slower if you need them to.
