\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Stream the audio from video meetings directly to your hearing aids using Bluetooth. Most hearing aids on the market today come with Bluetooth capability, making it easy to do this. If your hearing devices are not Bluetooth compatible, there are external devices that will allow you to connect them to your computer.<\/p>\n\n\n

Use Captions<\/h2>\n\n\n

Your video conferencing platform may include a live captioning feature, allowing you to read what\u2019s being said in real time. If this isn\u2019t an option, you can use speech to text apps.<\/p>\n\n\n

Check Your Internet Connection<\/h2>\n\n\n

A slow internet connection can make it difficult to understand what people are saying, since it may cause the video call to lag.<\/p>\n\n\n

Find a Quiet Environment<\/h2>\n\n\n

Find a quiet environment without background noise or distractions where you can take your video calls. This will make it easier to hear the discussion happening in the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n

Tell Your Colleagues About Your Hearing Loss<\/h2>\n\n\n

Communicate with your team at work and let them know about your hearing loss so you can share tips about how to communicate more effectively during video calls. For example, you can ask them to mute themselves when not speaking if they are in noisy locations.<\/p>\n\n\n

Make an Appointment with an Audiologist<\/h2>\n\n\n

During clean and check appointments, your audiologist can make sure your hearing aid is working<\/a> as it should, allowing you to better connect with sounds during virtual and in-person meetings.
