What is one of the recommended communication techniques with patients who are hearing impaired?

Decrease background noises like the television.
Speak very rapidly to convey more information.
Look away while speaking to encourage focus.
Raise voice to ensure the patient hears.

The correct answer is: Decrease background noises like the television.

Decreasing background noises, such as the television, is a recommended communication technique when interacting with patients who are hearing impaired. This approach helps minimize distractions and allows the patient to focus more on the speaker's words and visual cues, such as lip movements and facial expressions. A quieter environment reduces the overall auditory clutter, which can be particularly beneficial for those who have difficulty hearing. By ensuring that the communication setting is as free from competing noises as possible, the likelihood of effective communication is greatly enhanced, fostering better understanding and interaction between the patient and healthcare provider.
