Overview

This is the original version of my book. The updated and expanded version is titled, Hearing Loss CPR. This expanded edition includes information on cochlear implants and compatible hearing aids; additional living-with-hearing-loss stories; and insights about moving through a cancer experience when hard-of-hearing. Also includes an extremely detailed and helpful index. About the books: As a person born with a profound hearing loss, I realized, finally, in my mid-forties, that the biggest challenge in my life was not the hearing loss, it was my refusal to acknowledge the severity and impact of that loss. If I had access to the insights, guidance, and resources you'll find in this book my life would have been much easier. Topics include: What hearing loss sounds like What hearing loss feels like How to communicate with someone who has a hearing loss Myths about hearing loss Hearing aids Hearing Tests Technology to assist the hearing impaired on phones, computers and TV Dangers of Hearing loss and much more. As one reviewer noted, I live with someone that is hearing impaired (about 50%) and was looking for tips to help me be more understanding of the condition and get some tips on how to communicate so she can hear me better. This book covered everything! I initially thought I was going to read some tips I already knew. Instead, I was deeply surprised how little I actually knew about hearing loss-and I've been living with this for over a decade! This version is an Amazon Best Seller.
