Use natural gestures and expression to interpret your thoughts.

If that person don’t get what you spoke, don’t repeat again, explain by some signs and

symbols which can be understood easily.

Most of this people face difficulty in hearing speech in noisy surrounding, so make

sure background is calm.

If possible provide the information’s like directions, time on hand written paper,

which would be easy for them.

Check whether person whom you are talking is paying attention to your wordings,

rather prefer simple and easy language.

Don’t get aggressive if they don’t understand what you trying to convey, its might be

hard for them to get it.

Avoid having obstacles between both of you, it might create hindrance and your

wording can’t reach opposite person clearly.
