A coworker wears a hearing aid, but has never actively mentioned it. I have noticed that sometimes they don't quite follow a conversation, as they ask a question that has just been explicitly answered, or mistake a word for a close-sounding one.
Is there a respectful way to ask them if they have a "good ear" so that I stand on the correct side when i speak with them? Or to offer to speak louder? Is it helpful to correct them every time I notice they got something wrong? #Accessibility #AskFedi
