YEG Festival Season & Communication Strategies

Communication and Festival Season. As festival season continues in the wonderful city of ours, we, here at The Audiology Clinic Edmonton, encourage you to go out and enjoy every moment of it! Just like wearing sunscreen in the sun, we need to make sure we’re protecting our ears from noise at summer events! Loud sounds coming from those wonderful musicians/actors which will hit the stage for K-Days, Taste of Edmonton, Folk Festival, Heritage Days, Latin Festival, Shakespeare Festival, Carribean Arts Festival and the Fringe Festival (just to name a few), while beautiful, will be loud!

You can protect your hearing by wearing filtered hearing protection. These allow you to hear the full quality of the music without damaging your hearing! DID YOU KNOW? At most festivals, the volume is 90 decibels and above. For reference, Oilers games can be as loud as 110 decibel! This can cause permanent hearing damage. There are other challenges in these circumstances as well. Being in loud, outdoor environments means it is also difficult for us to hear conversation! Here are some tips to help you, whether you are hearing impaired or not, to hear

2. FACE THEM - make sure the person you are speaking to is able to see your face, particularly your mouth. 3. LIGHTING - make sure you have enough light on your face, so that the other person is able to read your lips if necessary 4. CONSIDERATE - Are you able to move to a quieter place while having the conversation? Are you sure the listener is following what you’re saying? Speak slowly and repeat or rephrase as needed. This is a short list of some strategies you can use to help with communication - we hope it helps. Now go and enjoy the best Festival City has to offer!
