An outstanding guide to hearing loss and its consequences,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Living Well with Hearing Loss: A Guide for the Hearing-Impaired and Their Families (Paperback)
A hearing-impaired friend recommended this book to to me when my hearing was damaged, and I will be forever grateful. It explains not only how hearing loss occurs, but how it feels. It has helpful graphs that illustrate what people with various types of loss can and cannot hear, and offers excellent advice on coping. The book is concise, which I appreciate. This is not a windy treatise. Anyone who lives with or knows a hearing-impaired person would also greatly benefit from these insights.

A Must Read for Hearing Impaired and their Familes,
By A Customer
This review is from: Living Well with Hearing Loss: A Guide for the Hearing-Impaired and Their Families (Paperback)
The author is concise and acurate with information on hearing loss and its ramifications on communication. The book deals in depth with psychosocial aspects of hearing loss and provides useful tips to ease communication friction between individuals with hearing loss and their families. As an individual with a hearing loss, I wish I would have read this years ago. However, as a graduate student in Audiology, the chapter on hearing aids is out of date. A second edition possible?
5.0 out of 5 stars
A great reference!,
By Texas Mom (Irving, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Living Well with Hearing Loss: A Guide for the Hearing-Impaired and Their Families (Paperback)
I first read this book when my son was diagnosed with hearing loss. Here I found the information that I needed to understand his audiogram. There are many good suggestions for modifications in school. I have used several passages to help my son's teachers learn about hearing loss. I refer to this book again and again. This book would be helpful for a hearing-impaired adult or for a family member of someone with hearing loss.
