We all know that being able to hear conversation can be difficult at times, even with normal hearing. However for those who have a hearing impairment it becomes more than just listening to the sounds or conversation around us.

coping with hearing difficulties and their family and friends in mind to try and give some understanding to both parties the best way to cope in certain situations.
