What is the most effective way to communicate medication instructions to someone who cannot hear well?

point toward written instructions while explaining
speak loudly while explaining instructions
talk in person, rather than on the phone, to communicate
use body language to act out the instructions

Answer 1

Face the hearing-impaired person directly, on the same level and in good light whenever possible.

Do not talk from another room.

Speak clearly, slowly, distinctly, but naturally, without shouting or exaggerating mouth movements.

Say the person's name before beginning a conversation.
