Editorial Reviews

Hearing loss goes beyond the physical limitations. This revised and updated edition of the 1985 original ( LJ 4/15/85) discusses the social, psychological, vocational, and emotional aspects, offering a realistic description of what to expect with a hearing loss and outlining attitude and behavior adjustments. Chapters dispensing practical advice summarize salient points and end with question-and-answer sections. Photographs of the latest hearing aids and devices are accompanied by discussion of the advantages and disadvantages. While this book is similar to Kay Thomsett and Eve Nickerson's Missing Words ( LJ 6/1/93), the style of delivery and organization of information differs. Missing Words emphasizes hearing loss through one person's experience and expands from that perspective. Coping with Hearing Loss takes a more global, factual approach. Both are recommended for popular medical collections.-- Emily Ferren, Carroll Cty. P.L., Westminster, Md.
