Could including real-world experiences of people with hearing loss in audiology student classrooms increase empathy for and understanding of the lived hearing loss experience?
In this new book, written by Shari Eberts and Gael Hannan, a skills-based approach to hearing loss centered not on hearing better but on communicating better, is offered.
In the book, Eberts shares her personal hearing loss journey, examines her experiences with audiologists over the years, and lays out her formula for person-centered care from the patient’s point of view.
