Hearing Again

Hearing loss in later life arrives quietly, and for a long time it can be easy to accommodate around — turning up the television, asking people to repeat themselves, withdrawing from noisy environments without quite naming why. By the time the loss is addressed, it has often already shaped relationships and daily life in ways that take time to unravel. Those who have been through that process speak here.

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe the experience of recognizing and responding to senior hearing loss: the audiologist appointments, the decision about hearing aids, the adjustment period, the effect on conversations and relationships, and the emotional dimension of an often-underacknowledged condition. Some writers describe the experience from the outside, as family members who watched a person they loved withdraw before finally seeking help.

Who it's for

For older adults navigating hearing loss, the partners and family members affected by it alongside them, and anyone trying to support a loved one toward a decision they are resisting.
