"This book will be very useful for hearing aid users and their
families. It helps demystify many of the uncertainties surrounding
the purchase of hearing aids, and is written in a highly readable
style." --David Fabry, past president, American Academy of
Audiology Approximately 10 percent of Americans (nearly one-third
of people age seventy and older) have some degree of hearing loss
that, if left untreated, causes frustration, isolation, and
depression. A hearing aid is a simple tool to improve careers,
relationships, and self-esteem, and to provide independence and
security. Yet of the nearly thirty million people with hearing
impairment, only about 20 percent choose to use one. This is true
despite the fact that technological advances have enabled hearing
aids to address a greater range of hearing losses, while making
them smaller, better designed, and easier to use than those of the
past. Overcoming Hearing Aid Fears can help readers take that first
step to a better life. Audiologist John M. Burkey addresses common
fears, concerns, and misconceptions about this topic. He provides
practical information about hearing aid styles, options, and costs.
His experience in caring for more than 50,000 patients will help
people with hearing loss address their concerns. The book also
helps family and friends understand why a loved one migh resist
getting a hearing aid, and offers tips on counseling. Audiologists
will find this text an important educational tool in advising their
own patients. John M. Burkey is the director of audiology and
speech at the Lippy Group for Ear, Nose, and Throat in Warren,
Ohio. He is coauthor with his colleagues at the Lippy Group of
Hearing Better: Understanding Your Hearing and Ear Care Options.
