What is the correct way to get a Deaf or Hard of Hearing persons attention?
ANS: There are several ways to do that. Of course the easiest is to tap the person on the shoulder or arm. This is very acceptable to the deaf person. If you’re too far away from the person you can try stomping the floor and maybe he will feel the vibration. When you’re sitting at a table you can slap the table and it will vibrate. As tempting as it may be, NEVER throw something at the deaf person to get their attention!
