Lesson 1: Emotional Trauma of Hearing Loss

Resources

Resources and Bibliography

There will be a complete list at the end of Lesson 4, but the books used for this course are as follows:

  1. Hearing Loss & Hearing Aids - A Bridge to Healing Edited by Richard Carmen
  2. Coping with Hearing Loss - A Guide for Adults and their Families by Susan V. Rezen, Ph.D. and Carl Hausman
  3. Missing Words - The Family Handbook on Adult Hearing Loss by Kay Thomsett and Eve Nickerson

Please note: Although it would be very beneficial to you, you don't have to read all three books for the course. Wherever possible, I've tried to refer you to pages from each book that are similar enough to enrich the lesson.

In this lesson, we used:

  • Coping with Hearing Loss, pages 31 - 53
  • Hearing Loss & Hearing Aids, pages 5 - 20
  • Missing Words: The Family Handbook on Adult Hearing Loss, pages 42 - 62
