On the other hand, some people disguise their hearing loss using a number of hearing tactics. Hearing tactics are an effective means of managing a hearing loss whether you wear a hearing device or not. It is said that 80 percent of communication is nonverbal. We often make facial expressions or use body language to convey all sorts of information without uttering a single word.
Other tactics can be used to disguise a loss, for instance, some individuals take control of a conversation, literally, and rarely let others speak. This allows the person to know what is being talked about without the fear of mistaking the topic of conversation. On the other hand, some individuals rarely get involved in group discussions or have a conversation where there is noise. They, in fact, become somewhat reclusive and to some even seem aloof. Both situations describe two very different personality traits and yet both tactics are designed to minimise embarrassment.
