Publisher's Synopsis
If you have hearing loss, you already know that the conventional approach to treatment is focused on hearing-aid technology. What's missing from this hearing care model is the big picture - a real-life illustration of how hearing loss, its emotions, and its barriers affect every corner of your life. Now, hearing-health advocates, consultants, and speakers Shari Eberts and Gael Hannan offer a new skills-based approach to hearing loss that is centered not on hearing better, but on communicating better. With honesty and humour, they share their own hearing loss journeys, and outline invaluable insights, strategies, and work-arounds to help you engage with the world and be heard.
