About Smart Hearing: Strategies, Skills, And Resources
Named one of the Best Books of 2018 by Kirkus Reviews! Smart Hearing is an honest, sometimes exasperated, fact-filled guide for living better with hearing loss. Whether you're new to hearing loss or a longtime veteran, this book has something for you.It begins with the basics: how to find an audiologist, how to buy a hearing aid and how to pay for it. Subsequent chapters include a detailed guide to the world of assistive listening technology, CART captioning, hearing loops, smartphone apps, telecoils and more. Smart Hearing surveys the many new and less expensive alternatives to hearing aids, including over-the-counter hearing aids and sophisticated personal listening devices. It also addresses everyday experiences that are often frustrating for those with hearing loss: dinner parties, travel, work, restaurants. It offers up-to-date information on cochlear implants, tinnitus and vertigo. And it assesses the sometimes significant health risks of not treating hearing loss. Katherine Bouton learned to navigate the maze of hearing loss on her own after suddenly losing her hearing at age 30. In this book, she hopes to make that journey easier for others. She is the author of Shouting Won't Help, a Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Book of 2013.
