Coping Strategies for Hearing Loss



You can lead a horse to water


While there are many strategies for coping with hearing loss in a hearing world, not a single one will do you any good without a good attitude. A strategy can only be good to those who apply it.

Folks with hearing loss-I have two words for you-ACCEPT IT!!

Once you learn to accept your hearing loss, your attitude will change, and, voila, you'll learn excellent coping strategies you can use to your benefit.


Easy-peasy, right? Yes, it is...I know because I have 33 HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL years under my belt as a deaf man in a hearing world.

The importance of updated hearing technology use

I could write and write on this topic and explain to you how today's technology greatly improves the quality of life for folks with hearing loss, but I won't. Most folks simply don't understand because they are hearing. Therefore, I make a simple plea-LISTEN to those folks when they tell you they need hearing aids, personal FM systems, etc. I may be the only one who finds it ironic the majority of the folks who don't listen are HEARING.
