Meer over het boek

Hearing loss often lacks a comprehensive guide, leaving many to rely on fragmented information and conventional treatment focused primarily on hearing aids. This approach frequently results in unsatisfactory communication experiences. What’s essential is understanding the broader impact of hearing loss on daily life, emotions, and relationships. Advocates Shari Eberts and Gael Hannan present a skills-based approach that emphasizes improving communication rather than just hearing. With a blend of honesty and humor, they share their personal experiences and offer valuable insights, strategies, and workarounds to enhance engagement with the world. Readers will find practical tips for navigating relationships, work, and technology, as well as strategies for fostering an empowering mindset towards hearing loss. By incorporating the lived experiences of countless individuals and drawing on hearing science and modern hearing-care principles, this resource provides a fresh perspective on achieving greater connection and engagement. Whether you are newly experiencing hearing loss or have been managing it for years, this guide underscores that while hearing loss is a part of your identity, it does not define you.
