Leenia, that's an important point.
On a related note, it's usually more important to speak in a lower vocal range, when talking to people with hearing deficits, than to talk LOUDLY.
A lot of problems many people, especially older people, have with understanding words, is high frequency hearing loss.
So talk more slowly and in a deeper voice. That will help a lot.
