Hoh/deaf speaking tips

[HoH_Profound]

Being HoH and when speaking do you find yourself sometimes getting all you words out at once?

How do you try to overcome this aspect?

I found reminding myself to breathe and speak more slowly can create clarity and singing helps to use your diaphragm rather than your chest to project your words out.

I do the same! I also remember a lot of mouth shapes, I know that sounds silly but it's what I remember from all those years of speech classes in elementary school lol.

Ha ha yep. They're bright green but I put different patterned tape and stickers on them. I'm due for a new one though!
