How do these people and their families cope? What are their experiences of pain, humor, and hope? What support do medicine and technology now offer them, and what is on the horizon? 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. 606 $aDeafness$vPopular works 606 $aHearing disorders$vPopular works 606 $aHearing aids 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDeafness 615 0$aHearing disorders 615 0$aHearing aids. 676 $a617.8 700 $aMyers$b David G., $0328638 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452342303321 996 $aA Quiet World$92451539 997 $aUNINA
