Beschreibung

If you've been straining to hear conversations, feeling isolated, or putting off getting help because of embarrassment or stigma - you're not alone. On average, people wait nine years before seeking support for hearing loss. This guided journal meets you where you are and walks you through the journey toward confidence, connection, and self-advocacy.

Becoming Hearing Empowered combines practical knowledge with guided journaling and creative activities designed to help you:Understand your hearing loss and learn to read your audiogram
Explore assistive technology and personalize your accommodations
Process the emotional impact of communication struggles
Fight internalized stigma and reframe your identity
Respectfully refute accusations of "selective hearing"
Confidently disclose your hearing loss and advocate for your needs in any situation

Hearing loss is a complex, often invisible disability. Knowing the nuts and bolts matters - but that knowledge won't help if you're too embarrassed to talk about your hearing loss or ask for the support you need. This journal gives you space to work through both.

Written by Katherine S. Rybak, [...]., NBCT - a person with lifelong hearing loss and a retired Teacher of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing - this book brings together lived experience and professional expertise to guide you toward becoming hearing empowered.
