To promote communication with the client who has a hearing impairment, the nurse should use visible expressions, such as speaking with the hands, face, or eyes.
A normal tone of voice and inflections of speech should be used when communicating with a client who has a hearing impairment.
The nurse should get the client's attention and not startle the client when entering a room. The nurse should not approach a client from behind.
It is best to select a quiet environment without background noise to facilitate communication when a client is hearing impaired.
