Hearing loss is a common chronic condition which is often poorly
recognized but can have multiple negative impacts, not just on the
lives of those directly affected, but also those living with them.
People with impaired hearing may begin a long and uncertain journey
involving a number of key stages, from emerging awareness and
help-seeking, to diagnosis, adjustment, and self-evaluation. Based
on a model of person-centered audiological rehabilitation, this
book explains why it is important to understand both patients' own
experiences, and those of their communication partners, over time.
It focuses particularly on the human dynamics of hearing loss,
exploring the broader consequences of hearing loss for the
individual, family members, and wider society. In particular the
book: gives insight into the patients' and their communication
partners' experiences and perspectives through clear and telling
first-hand narrative accounts; examines how people understand their
own hearing loss, reflect on their experiences with hearing aids -
both positive and negative - and evaluate treatment options;
considers the changes needed to conversations in order to include
all communication partners, whether with impaired hearing or not;
and discusses consequences of hearing loss using the International
Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). With
its explicit aim to increase awareness of the need to include the
patient and close relatives in the process of rehabilitation, this
new text makes an important contribution to further improve
evidence-based practice in the field of audiological
rehabilitation. An ideal text for audiology, ENT, and nursing
students of all levels.
