Charlotte Himber counts herself among 22 million Americans who have signficant hearing loss. Like 40 per cent of those with hearing loss, hers grew worse as she became older. In this book, she shares her first-hand experience, her feelings and the knowledge she gathered when she finally decided to "do something about her hearing." This work presents the results of her intensive research about hearing and the ear, otologists and audiologists, and the support groups ready to help those with hearing loss. Along with empathy and understanding, readers should find useful information, resources and useful hints.
