My new way: The pointing strategy

It took me a bit of time to discover this strategy but I think that it is working. In order to compensate for Mom’s hearing loss, whenever we are chatting and if I believe that she may not fully hear me, I point to things and oh boy!  She is so good at understanding and responding.

So for example, if I wish her to chat about something on the TV as I am relaxing close by, I point to the TV and she knows how to respond.

If I wish her to give me feedback on my top, I stand in front of her and point to my top. She almost immediately gets it.

Then, if I walk towards her and point to my shoes and slacks, she immediately knows that I am seeking her opinion as to whether shoes and slacks match. 

Then, if she sees me trying to find something on her counter, I point to the counter and place my hands on the surface of the counter. She quickly realizes what I am trying to say and she responds.

Or, if I walk towards her to ask how my hair looks after I have washed and dried it, I point with my hair brush to my head and she is on it. This is my pointing strategy. This is my brilliant Mom!
