This book is truly one-of-a-kind. A consumer author for more than 20
years, Editor and Clinical Audiologist Richard Carmen brings together the most
renowned audiologists, scientists and experts in the field. Destined to become a
leading resource for anyone suffering from loss of hearing, this book has already
been received by professional and industry journals as the book everyone's been
waiting for.
Paula Bonillas, Editor of Hearing Health Magazine, and hearing impaired
herself, says "I wish this had been available years ago!" Several audiologists who
penned chapters in this book are also hearing impaired and write from their own
experience. Donna Sorkin, Executive Director of the largest consumer group in the
United States for hearing impaired persons says this book demonstrates that
"hearing loss is not insurmountable!" Robin Holm, Senior Editor of Audecibel, the
official journal of the International Hearing Society, says, "the pearls of wisdom
you harvest will last a lifetime."
A wide range of topics are discussed, including the emotions involved in hearing loss; where and how to find help; self-assessment for those who do not yet admit a loss; how to effectively transition from hearing loss to hearing aids; why people reject hearing aids; and additional devices besides hearing aids which solve hearing problems-and may work for you! Other topics include questions posed to leading experts on the cutting edge of medicine and hearing science; exploration into issues surrounding aging; and techniques to improve listening and hearing.
The book is a sensible, sensitive approach to hearing problems. It is informative and may even inspire you to take the proper action required to solve the problem!
