Description and Table of Contents

Description

This volume lays out the practical steps families can take to adjust to a loved one's hearing loss. The book shows how the exchange of information can be altered at fundamental levels, what these alterations entail, and how they can affect one's ability to understand and interpret spoken communication. Along with the hands-on tips provided throughout, this handbook considers the potential of cochlear implants, described both by audiologist Holden and Nickerson, who underwent one in 1985. This should be a useful resource for all families coping with a loved one's hearing loss.
