Caregiver Guide for Seniors with Hearing 
Loss (How to Communicate Easily) 
• The problem of hearing loss in old age is terrible. Deafness cuts the elderly 
off from their loved ones and the outer world. It is painful to accept for our 
loved ones that they are losing hearing quality by age and therefore, they 
hardly admit about their hearing loss and deny the treatment as well.
• Not all senior people have the same type of hearing loss problem. Some are 
at the beginning stage of hearing loss (mild hearing loss) that can be easily 
treated by giving accurate treatment or using hearing aids. But some 
seniors hardly listen or totally fail to listen. Sometimes, even the operation 
of hearing parts is not a viable solution.
• Fortunately, families and in-home caregivers for seniors can ensure good 
communication with the elderly by using some tips and tricks.

How to Deal with the Elderly with Hearing 
Loss Problem  
• Things To Do:
• First, get the attention of the elderly before you start speaking with them. 
You can do it by waving your hand or touching their hand or shoulder gently. 
• Sit close to your loved one's better ear (if it is possible).
• Complement what you are saying with your body language and gestures.
• Make sure that when you speak to them, the space is properly illuminated.
• Articulate your words clearly and slowly so that they can understand by the 
movement of your lips.
• Try to eliminate the background disturbance if you can.

Things Not To Do: 
• Speaking to the elderly without giving cues.
• Covering your face or looking down while speaking.
• Trying to communicate from another room.
• Sitting or standing in a way that covers the light source.
• Shouting or speaking fast with your loved ones.
• Turning off the TV show they are watching without their permission.
• Walking away in the middle of the conversation.

How to Help the Elderly (with Hearing Loss) 
Handle Telephone Conversations 
• Senior loved ones with hearing loss can talk to people on a traditional 
telephone by using their hearing aids easily. Just make sure that the 
person on the other side is speaking clearly or giving your loved one extra 
processing time. 
• You can also take advantage of modern gadgets that can be connected via 
Bluetooth with their hearing aids and their smartphone. This way, they 
can talk with a cool hands-free experience. 
• Lastly, it is highly recommended that if your senior loved one is facing 
hearing issues, then the in-home caregiver for senior you want to hire 
must also know ASL and have sufficient experience with caring for seniors 
with deafness or low hearing quality.
