When sounds are in shadows, let sunshine in. Hearing loss is a
personal challenge not limited to those of us who are deaf or hard
of hearing. It also affects our families, friends and work
colleagues. To help them connect with us, we need to show we are
not afraid to acknowledge the difficulties that we and they
experience. And yet many of us hesitate to admit, even to
ourselves, that we have a problem. Over more than thirty years of
progressive partial deafness, the author has noticed surprising
indifference and lack of support for this increasingly common but
hidden disability - despite the fact that there are more than 9
million people in UK who are affected (and possibly as many as 500
million world-wide). Although much is now being done to encourage
more action and awareness, he believes that many of us directly
involved could make a difference by being more open and positive.
Sharing our problems can be very effective in helping to find
solutions that can lift our feelings about hearing loss out of the
shadows and on to a sunnier plateau with the help of hearing
professionals, support groups, hearing charities and people who are
close to us. How well this can work you may judge from this
collection of personal observations and anecdotes which includes
contributions from hearing professionals and members of his family.
