Introduction
I was in my early 30s when I started losing my hearing. Like most people, I went through several different emotions, none of which were good.
It may take awhile to realize that you're losing your hearing, but once you do, it's a shock to your entire being. You realize your world will never again be the same and you wonder if you can possibly survive in your new vulnerable state.
We are so dependent on our hearing that most of us take it for granted. We aren't usually conscious of all the ways our hearing functions for us throughout the day. Even when we're sleeping, we rely on our hearing to wake us up if something is wrong.
Once that hearing is gone or impaired, we miss it more than we can express. We are left feeling alone, frightened, angry, depressed, and vulnerable, and that's just the tip of the emotional iceberg.
It's necessary to go through many emotional stages to be ready to deal with adult hearing loss, but when acceptance finally occurs, we're ready to face the problem and learn how to cope with it.
Once the trauma of hearing loss has subsided, we're ready to get to work and make our lives better. Thankfully, there are numerous agencies and resources available to help us do that, as well as an ever improving array of technical devices.
In my course, I'll guide you through the process of coping with hearing loss and I'll introduce you to some of the things that can help make your life easier.
This course will not only teach you how to cope with your hearing loss, it will also help you gain confidence, security and the knowledge you need to do it.
