Also hard of hearing people, theirs no reason to at first glance assume they can't normal speaking so just yell it.  I work with the elderly people and I must say those with hearing aids I speak normal with just a bit more mids and works great.  If the person is really profoundly hard of hearing than at that point speak loud, but don't yell just speak loud.</blockquote>
