Slowing down is great but since the high frequency hearing is usually first to go, a friend wanted a ride to High st I drove him to I st. Check out the speech banana and you will learn to replace difficult words with easier words again this is for high frequency hearing loss. "F" "TH" and "S" are very difficult to hear and are on the right of the speech banana, sounds on the left side of the speech banana are easier to hear. For a long time I thought people needed to speak louder, well some people do, speaking slowly and allowing me to see their lips, because my brain is working overtime trying to understand. When I can't I get frustrated and will eventually say oh yes without understanding a thing. Certain people with accents on the phone I can't make out a single word they say. Here are examples of difficult words vs words that are easier to hear
