New Deafness and Hearing Loss Publication

With Deaf Awareness Week taking place, organised and co-ordinated by the UK Council on Deafness, this year’s theme is ‘Look At Me’, which aims to help people develop their understanding of deafness by highlighting the different ways in which communication can be established.

Published in May, Deafness and Hearing Loss – The Essential Guide contains a broad range of information for people affected by hearing loss. The author, Juliet England, has severe hearing loss herself and wanted to help people of all ages come to terms with their hearing loss and overcome the challenges that daily life might bring.

Communication and finding the right support are Juliet’s key messages: ‘Many deaf people do reach their potential and lead full and richly rewarding lives. The aim of this guide is to give you the information and access to resources you need, so that you can become one of them, or help someone else to fulfil their potential.

‘We’ll also look at the different communication tools on the market – and how they can help. There have, of course, been great technological strides in recent years, making it easier than ever for deaf people to communicate.’

Packed with practical and up-to-date information, the book also covers subjects such as parenting a child with hearing loss, glue ear, coping with deafness in school, deafness and hearing loss at work, new technology, how to make communication easier, and benefits and pensions. Advice for those living with loved ones with hearing problems is also included.
