What barriers do the hearing impaired experience in achieving good oral health?

[dchartr]

I am currently a dental student, and I was given an assignment on communicating and working on hearing impaired patients. I was wondering if I could get any information on the difficulties in communicating with a physician. Or any other type of information you would like to provide on patient-physician (or other health care workers) interaction. Thank you in advance.

I think, This is not difficult. You can easily. But remember some thing, Visual communication is very important. Your facial expressions and body language add vital information to the communication. When talking, try to keep your hands away from your face. Speak distinctly, but without exaggeration.
