There are several positions that are especially difficult for food service workers with hearing loss. You must be able to communicate with customers and are often several feet away from them with a counter between you. Background noise from co-workers and food preparation equipment can interfere with clear communication. Your communication demands may include responding to equipment timers and buzzers in food preparation areas as well as hearing co-workers clearly. You may be working out on the floor and interacting with customers in a noisy dining area and may need to answer the phone. While each position presents different issues, there are communication strategies and technology solutions available.
