When fitting hearing aids, I like
to verify that the patient is able to comprehend what I'm saying by
asking questions. Just some dumb little questions like "What did you eat
for breakfast?" or "Did you have coffee this morning?" I'll put my hand
in front of my mouth, like a little Japanese girl to prevent lip
reading.

People that are losing their hearing will start reading lips. They're
not conscious of what they're doing. It's always gratifying when they
are able to comprehend me. If they're understanding me, I'll take it one
step further. Asking a question while avoiding eye contact.
Your best bet when communicating with a hearing impaired person, is to
face directly in front of the person, making eye contact, and speaking
clearly without rushing. Old married couples, however, don't talk like
that to each other. Wives like to talk to their husbands from another
room, while the husband is watching TV. I don't know why they do that.
