Is it normal my coworkers often can't hear me, even when i shout?

This happened already at work today. I do work in a relatively noisy environment where people where ear protection, but its not like its super loud all the time. I often have to get in front of people to use sign language instead of talking because people dont hear me or cant hear what I say

Is It Normal?

  • you may not be speaking confidently enough. If you look like a shy type of person (bad posture / body language) people will notice that first and it’ll detract from whatever you’re saying.

  • Maybe your co worker is just focus in their job? Or just lazy to answer back

  • Mouth your words so people can read you lips, Also, develop hand signals for the essentials.

  • You have to learn to yell. I use to have to as well. It will wear on you and in normal conversations you'll be yelling
