Supporting a friend with hearing loss involves small, thoughtful actions that make communication smoother and more inclusive.

Always take turns when talking so they can follow the conversation easily.

Face your friend directly while speaking and let them see your smile, which helps with lip-reading and visual cues.

Offer assistance or call for help if their hearing aid or implant isn't working properly.

Ensure you actively include them in play and group activities so they never feel left out.y

Above all, never tease or make fun of hearing loss or assistive devices, and consider learning sign language to connect better.
