Hearing in a large outdoor space can be difficult for folks with Hearing Loss, especially in a crowd. Make sure to sit in a spot which gives you a clear view of the screen, making sure the help of visual cues is available, like speech reading or body language of the actors. Ask people around you to kindly “ssshhhh” if their voices become distracting. For folks who wear Hearing Aids, check with your Audiologist as to whether or not you can add a Directional Program for better listening. This program tells the Hearing Aids to focus on sound you are facing – where your attention is, and puts less focus on the sounds behind you.
