Exciting Announcement for World Hearing Day: Our New Book on Sudden Hearing Loss!
On this World Hearing Day, I’m proud to announce that I’ve co-authored a book with audiologist Andrea Simonson and psychotherapist Caroline Norman. Our journeys through sudden hearing loss were different, but they shared the emotional rollercoaster of SSNHL. Caroline went through it firsthand, while Andrea supported her husband through his diagnosis.
This book combines research-backed insights with personal stories from over 60 people globally, providing support, hope, and practical guidance.

Navigating the Emotional Impact of Hearing Loss: From Grief to Growth
If you’ve experienced hearing loss, you may have found it to be a life-changing experience. Often, learning to live without full sound not only means figuring out the practical implications, such as whether a hearing device might be helpful or the best place to sit in a restaurant to hear the people at your table but also means working through a landscape of emotions. Hearing loss not only affects how you interact with the world but also how you feel about yourself, and for me, the emotional impact of hearing loss was huge.
