Health care works to have deaf awareness training/learn basic sign language
Deaf means deaf! Not hard of hearing! To often in hospital people who are deaf are treated as if they are hard of hearing/ hearing impaired.
They are faced with healthcare professionals shouting from the end of the bed and missing out on vital decisions which are made due to poor and in effective communication. This needs to stop, basics awareness should be Incorporated in there training e.g. Writing down for the individual and confirmation of understanding. Not just relying on ineffective lip reading and poor hand gestures
