Childhood hearing loss is more common than most people assume, and
yet this invisible condition can rob a child of the ability to
develop close emotional relationships with family and friends. This
book demystifies this condition and offers emotionally-supportive
approaches to caring for the child and the whole family. It is
written from the perspective of a pediatric audiologist who has
diagnosed hearing loss in hundreds of newborns and young children,
and who has shaped clinical best-practices during his career.
Hearing loss is not an "all or nothing" condition, but a range from
very subtle, slight challenges, to very little ability to hear. The
impact that hearing loss can have on a child's language,
intellectual, social and emotional development is enormous. But
when the team of healthcare providers, developmental specialists,
and parents are all working together, the hearing loss can become
just another trait of this wonderful, unique child, rather than the
single condition that defines the child and the family's experience
raising that child. This book offers an explanation of "what is
hearing loss" for parents, describes who is on the team working
with the child (and team members' roles), and practical guidance
for navigating what can be an uncertain path for families. Any
family living with a child with hearing loss will benefit from the
gentle guidance and hopeful stories found in this work.
