Employers want to know how to communicate with a deaf or hard-of-hearing employee. Be ready to offer some suggestions when you are first meeting employers:
Mention communicating with a computer is quicker than writing things back and forth. For more information, see Communication Strategies, and Group Situations and Meetings.
For your interview, be prepared to explain some strategies, services and equipment that can be very effective in the workplace. Depending on your needs, provide information about how to obtain these services and equipment.
