Review
"Becky has gone to great lengths to present examples of just about every listening situation, social circumstance, and managerial challenge possible to show that to ignore this "invisible handicap" is to reap unnecessary loss to the economy (to the tune of more than $112 Billion annually in the U.S. alone!), missed opportunities in promotion and...

5.0 out of 5 stars
Full of practical information,
This review is from: On the Job with Hearing Loss: Hidden Challenges Successful Solutions (Paperback)
After reading this book, I learned so much about the different accomidations to meet the demand of my clients' needs for products that have been clearly explained. I think this book is concise and contains easy-to-understand explinations, facts, and a step-by-step process used to assess demands. People in all professions having to do with hearing loss, i.e. Vocational Rehabilitation, students of Audiology, Human Resources just to name a few, would benifit from reading this long- overdue look into ALD accomidations in the work place.

This review is from: On the Job with Hearing Loss: Hidden Challenges Successful Solutions (Paperback)
This book offered solid, basic information on handling hearing related problems in the workplace. It is not a technical manual - rather it is written for those "inexperienced" in this area. I would recommend it to beginners in this subject area.

not much new,
This review is from: On the Job with Hearing Loss: Hidden Challenges Successful Solutions (Paperback)
This book would be better for the lay person, one with no experience with hearing loss or the hearing impaired. The suggestions are common sense, and I felt like I was reading a student project, assigned in graduate school. As an audiologist, it did not provide any new info, but I guess I can loan it to patients needing assistance at the work place. If you are an experienced audiologist, the book is not anything new.
