3rd step
Become familiar with your own voice
By now you’ve already made considerable progress! You’ve
become much more familiar with the sounds in your daily
environment. As an exercise read out loud and concentrate
on your own voice.
Get used to conversations in a group
Conversation in a group of people speaking among
themselves is one of the most difficult hearing situations.
Try to distinguish between the voices by noting their specific
tonal colour and their characteristic rhythm, and fit them to
the individual persons.
Don’t be discouraged. Repeat the exercise – remember your
goal: to be able to take part in such conversations again.

Learn to understand the speech of others
Wear the instruments when you speak with someone in your
family. Make a date with a friend. Explain your new situation
and ask the person to speak at a normal conversational
sound level.
Exercise: Have sentences read out to you and repeat these
sentences.
