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.
Deaf Awareness Week 2023: 5 Surprising Facts About Life With Single-Sided Deafness
Deaf Awareness Week 2023
This week is Deaf Awareness Week!
The theme this year is Deaf Inclusion, which highlights how hearing loss impacts daily life and how others can help support deaf people.
This Deaf Awareness Week, I’m bringing attention to Single-Sided Deafness (SSD), a type of unilateral hearing loss, where a person has no or limited access to sound in one ear.
This subject is close to my heart as I have lived with SSD since my sudden hearing loss in 2016. Here I share some of the challenges that come with SSD, ways you can help support people with SSD, and how to advocate for yourself if you have SSD.
