The person turns the radio or television volume up excessively.
Doesn't hear the phone or the doorbell. Doesn't react.
Often asks for the same information to be repeated during the day.
Withdraws from family meals, meetings, noisy restaurants. Gradual isolation.

Reacts inappropriately or answers off-topic. Difficulty in conversation.
Touch their shoulder or make a visual signal. Don't speak from another room.
Lip reading is an essential complement. Keep your face lit, not backlit.
Not louder, but more clearly. Don't over-exaggerate your articulation.

If the person hasn't understood, rephrase it differently rather than simply repeating.
Listening fatigue is real. By the end of the day, the ability to concentrate declines.
Posters, educational content and materials to raise public awareness.
