Editorial Reviews

The information in this book reinforces communication tools that we, as audiologists, strive to provide our patients throughout the entire evaluation and rehabilitative process. I am excited to provide this book to my patients and their family members. It will facilitate awareness, knowledge, and realistic expectations about hearing loss for all parties involved, which will then lead to a more effective communication process.

At last, a book that truly tells it like it is...In this easy to read guide to better communication, Dr. Jessen places responsibility right where it belongs; on both the listener and those who communicate with the listener, without assigning blame or "sugar-coating" the situation...If the reader combines new technology with the words of experienced wisdom contained in this book, optimizing communication despite having a hearing loss can actually be achieved.

As an ENT doctor, I feel Dr. Dusty Jessen's book is a wonderful addition to the world of listening, hearing and communicating. Dr. Jessen's book will help people to maximize these skills as they enter the world of hearing aids. It was an easy and informative read.
