When giving directions, be clear, precise, but avoid repeating yourself.

Yes, you should be clear and precise when giving directions, but it's okay to repeat yourself if the person asks you to do so! Hearing loss is different for everyone. Sometimes people can hear sounds, but they can't make out speech, or they may have some residual hearing and can understand what you're saying if you speak louder. So, if they request you to repeat yourself, just do it! Photo by SHVETS production from Pexels.
