Use the International Radiotelephony Spelling Alphabet—It’s an Effective Coping Strategy

by Neil Bauman, Ph.D.

I have just written a new article called “The International Radiotelephony Spelling Alphabet—A Boon to Hard of Hearing People (If You Know and Use It)”.

This article begins, “Among most hard of hearing people, the International Radiotelephony Spelling Alphabet (also called the NATO Phonetic Alphabet, but sometimes erroneously referred to as the International Phonetic Alphabet) seems to be a deep, dark secret. This should not be, as the International Radiotelephony Spelling Alphabet is a most useful communicating aid.”

The article goes on to teach you why the International Radiotelephony Spelling Alphabet is such a great communication aid for us (hard of hearing people), and how to effectively use it. Click here to read the rest of this article.

After you’ve read it, don’t stop there, put what you have learned into daily use.
