Ears That Don't Work Right: Stories From the Heart - What It's Like to Live in a World Where You Can't Depend On the Words You Hear & How Hearing Aids (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798349373237)

Ears That Don't Work Right: Stories From the Heart - What It's Like to Live in a World Where You Can't Depend On the Words You Hear & How Hearing Aids Changed Everything

What you think you know about hearing loss will change after reading this book...

Those that are blessed with normal hearing often think those that are not are many things...slow, 'deaf', they really just have 'selective' hearing, why can't they just listen 'harder'...none of which is true of course. And they think this only because hearing loss is hard to understand. You'll discover:

• • The emotional and social effects of hearing loss
  • The benefit of hearing aids on tinnitus
  • Why one ear isn't just as good as two

Hopefully, after reading these stories, you'll have a better idea of what hearing loss is like and from that, find the same patience and compassion you have for anyone else with a disability.

I can only tell you so much from my perspective, but there's no better way than to hear it from those who live it on a daily basis.
