Looking directly at the client when communicating can help them read lips and pick up on non-verbal cues, which can improve communication despite decreased sensory capabilities. Discouraging attempts at verbal communication or increasing volume may not be effective solutions, and encouraging the client to communicate by writing may not be practical for all clients.
