Commandment #9: Gain attention respectfully for hearing loss. 👋✨
When trying to get the attention of someone with a hearing disability, it can be easy to react based on impulse—like waving aggressively or raising our voice. But as our speaker, Ate Kaye, beautifully breaks down in this episode, those methods aren't always effective or polite.
She reminds us with a warm smile: “If you really cannot hear anything, even if you keep on shouting and make your voice loud, there is really nothing.” 🔇💡
Instead, she shares incredible, real-world alternatives that rely on physical respect and gentle awareness.
💡 The Golden Rule: To respectfully get the attention of a person with a hearing disability, tap them gently on the shoulder or wave your hand naturally within their line of sight. As Ate Kaye shares, you can also gently tap a shared surface—like a table in front of you—because they will easily feel the physical vibration and know you are trying to connect!
Once you have their attention, maintain clear eye contact, face the light source, and keep your hands away from your mouth so they can clearly read your lips.
Let's use these thoughtful tools to make sure everyone feels comfortably included in the conversation! 🤝🕊️
