Most work places can be adjusted to cater to people with hearing impediments, by:

Changing their office set-up and layout
Improve lighting to aide those that lip-read
If possible remove glass barriers or walls to help reduce the muffled sound
Stand near the person when speaking
Reduce background noise as much as possible
Learn Auslan, sign language

These are only a few suggestions, to find out more ways to keep your work place and any other place safe for the hearing impaired follow this link http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/bhcv2/bhcarticles.nsf/pages/Hearing_loss_workplace_tips_for_managers
