Looking for advice working with someone who is hard of hearing
Hi there, I’m a singing coach and an enquiry has just come in for someone who is deaf and would like to learn singing. Has anyone coached someone who is hard of hearing before? Can it work – do you have any tips?

Not yet, but if you try to teach him/her singing it would be great for you. You could teach him/ her by sign language. This would help you a lot and you can teach other physical disabled people.

I have 4 students who are slightly hard of hearing.One method which we use is a blown up and tied off balloon.Placed on the ear ,whichever one or both have the distortion,the vibration from the sound as long as you have taught technique well will echo through in most cases.The head is the natural resonator,made of bone with holes….This works for the 4, I mentioned.I can go deeper into the technical aspect but for now hope this may be of assistance.
