In this engaging and practical book, David Myers, who has himself suffered gradual hearing loss, explores the problems faced by the hard of hearing at home and at work and provides information on the new technology and groundbreaking surgical procedures that are available.Drawing on both his own experiences and his expertise as a social psychologist, Myers recounts how he has coped with hearing loss and how he has incorporated technological aids into his life. The family and friends of the hard of hearing also face adjustments. Myers addresses their situation and provides advice for them on how best to alert loved ones to a hearing problem, persuade them to seek assistance, and encourage them to adjust to and use hearing aids.DeafnessPopular worksHearing disordersPopular worksHearing aidsDeafnessHearing disordersHearing aids.617.8Myers David G., 328638DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910777828503321A Quiet World3762626UNINA
