Good food, good company, getting away from it all. But if you are hard of hearing, such an evening can quickly become tiring or frustrating. Think of noisy restaurants, echoing rooms or a table mate who speaks just a little too softly. Yet hearing loss doesn\u2019t have to be a killjoy. With a few smart adjustments, you can enjoy an enjoyable dinner.     <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this blog, we share practical tips, helpful tricks and do\u2019s and don\u2019ts for a relaxed dinner \u2013 without missing half the conversation.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose your restaurant with care<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The place where you eat really makes a difference. Some restaurants are so noisy that even people without hearing loss can barely understand each other. For example, avoid:  <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Large open spaces with hard floors and high ceilings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Music on stand dance floor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Full rooms without acoustic attenuation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather choose a smaller restaurant, preferably with carpet, curtains or soft wall coverings. These dampen sound and create more pleasant acoustics. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you have a favorite restaurant? Call ahead and ask how busy it usually is at the time you want to come. Or if they can reserve a quiet corner for you.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avoid peak hours<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you go to dinner at 7 p.m. on a Friday night, then you know: it\u2019s going to be busy. Try to avoid peak times. Earlier in the evening or just later is often quieter. Or opt for lunch instead of dinner \u2013 usually a lot less noisy.   <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose your place at the table smartly<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where you sit matters more than you think. Choose (or ask for) a seat: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>With your back to the wall<\/strong>: this is how sound comes mostly from the front<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Far from the kitchen or bar<\/strong>: there is often a lot of noise and buzz there<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>In a corner or alcove<\/strong>: there you have less trouble with reverberation and other tables<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you sitting with several people? Ask if you can sit next to the person you prefer to talk to. Or at least diagonally opposite. That way you don\u2019t have to keep turning your head and you can lip read if that helps.   <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Just give it to<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many people find it difficult to mention at the table that they are hearing impaired. A shame, because if you mention it kindly, people are usually happy to take it into consideration. For example, say:  <\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t hear very well, so if you talk slowly and look at me, I can follow you better.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is not a lament, but simply clear and pleasant for everyone. It often even has a relaxing effect \u2013 even for your tablemates. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get help from staff<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good service does more than bring food. If you notice you are having trouble ordering, briefly explain that you are hearing impaired. For example, ask if they would speak a little slower, or if they could repeat your order to check.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It sounds simple (and it is) but of course it is also convenient to point out your choice on the map. Or you just write it down yourself. Everything is okay \u2013 if it helps you, it helps the other person too.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use technology to your advantage<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you wear a hearing aid? Don\u2019t put it on the default mode. Many modern hearing aids have a <strong>restaurant or noise mode<\/strong> that suppresses background noise and highlights voices better. You can always contact <a href=\"https:\/\/www.horendgoed.nl\/en\/contact\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"62\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">us<\/a> about the proper setting.     <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you have a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.horendgoed.nl\/en\/webshop\/aids-for-the-hearing-impaired\/microphone-accessories\/\" data-type=\"product_cat\" data-id=\"1002\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">directional microphone<\/a><\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.horendgoed.nl\/en\/webshop\/aids-for-the-hearing-impaired\/hearing-amplifiers\/\" data-type=\"product_cat\" data-id=\"1308\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hearing amplifier<\/a> or any other accessory you can put on the table? Feel free to use those. Or turn on a <strong>speech-to-text app<\/strong> on your phone if you\u2019re in company that\u2019s fine with that. There are apps that subtitle conversations live \u2013 ideal in crowded settings.   <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep the conversation pleasant (and clear)<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few simple habits make the conversation a lot more pleasant:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Take turns talking. Sounds simple, but is often the most difficult. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Look at each other while talking. This helps tremendously in following what is being said. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Speak calmly and clearly, but do not exaggerate. Shouting or exaggerated articulation is actually counterproductive. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid a lot of background information at once. Short sentences are easier to follow. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And perhaps most importantly, <strong>laugh together at misunderstandings<\/strong>. Sometimes you hear \u201cI\u2019ll take the ravioli\u201d as \u201cI\u2019ll take the rally car.\u201d Moments like that are not bad at all \u2013 they are part of it and also make it fun again.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stay connected even if you don\u2019t hear everything<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hearing impairment can make you feel \u201cleft out of the conversation. In that case, try not to pretend you understand everything, but hook in honestly: <\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSorry, I missed that for a moment, can you repeat it?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or ask someone to catch you up. Most people are happy if you indicate that you want to join them, and they are happy to help you do so. Openness removes tension and makes eating together real together again.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enjoyment may remain central<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All these tips are practical, but above all, don\u2019t forget what it\u2019s all about: <strong>a nice evening, good food and conviviality<\/strong>. That works best if you don\u2019t put too much pressure on yourself. If you miss something once, that\u2019s okay. If it\u2019s noisy, try to focus on the company and the atmosphere. And if you really can\u2019t follow a conversation, be kind to yourself. You tried \u2013 and that\u2019s already valuable.     <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want to eat out more often and make your evening a success? Then do what you feel comfortable with. Practice, try, and learn what works for you. Your hearing loss does not have to be an obstacle to a pleasant evening \u2013 as long as you are smartly prepared.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And above all, remember: being hearing impaired doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t be social. You just do it your way. And that\u2019s totally fine.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this blog, we share practical tips, helpful tricks and do&#8217;s and don&#8217;ts for eating out when you are
