1. Which person is most likely to be successful when making phone calls?

I manage alright with the phone. I take my hearing aid out and ask the caller to speak up a bit.

I use the hands-free speaker instead - that way my hearing aid doesn't whistle on the phone.

I always get my husband to use the phone, as he knows I struggle.

2. Which person is most likely to be successful when using the loop system?

I use my loop setting at church and I can hear the vicar really well.

I don't use my loop at the post office. Staff know I can't hear, and I write down what I need.

I struggled using the loop at first so stopped using it.

3. Which person would benefit from more advice about living with hearing loss?

I live by myself and can't hear the smoke alarm so I have a vibrating pager under my pillow.

The audiologist set the loop program on my hearing aid to use for the TV. Now the TV isn’t too loud for my family.

I feel a bit lonely sometimes as I don't hear the phone and doorbell, particularly when I'm listening to my TV.
