How can people with hearing loss be included in faith communities?

As stated in our previous post, leaders can provide notes on the service before the event, preferably a few days prior so that the individual has time to read through the sermon, prayers and readings. In this way, they have an idea of what will be covered in the service and can better follow the proceedings.

How can people with hearing loss be included in faith communities?

Most places of worship these days have a projector which offers text and announcements on screen. This is useful for those with hearing loss to keep track of how far along the proceedings are.
However, it must be noted that not everybody will be able to read from afar, so a hard copy is another option.
