hi i love your account!! ♥️🤟

do you know of any ways to make group voice calls more accessible? i so badly want to participate in Discord vcs with my friends more often, but i get hearing fatigue almost instantly and struggle to keep track of multiple voices at once, especially when there’s a movie/game going on in the background. (i have mild to moderate hearing loss + auditory processing issues.)

thanks in advance!

Hi!

I don't use Discord or group voice calls so I don't have much advice unfortunately. You could talk to the group or start with one friend to figure out how to make things less chaotic. Maybe ask to have games muted? Truckers talking to each other on the radio will start with their handle to identify themselves. Maybe emulating that will make it easier to know who's talking in a way that's fun.

If anyone has experience with this please share!
