Sound Sense - Living and Learning with Hearing Loss by Sara Laufer Batinovich (Paperback, 2010)

One out of every eight people between the ages of 18 and 67 in the United States has a hearing loss, estimated as 12 percent of the working-age population. Sound Sense: Living and Learning with Hearing Loss addresses the acute need of these people to function at the highest level in these income-earning years, the longest phase in their lives. In nine pointed chapters, author Sara Laufer Bativich, who also has lost her hearing, shares her experience and kwledge in turning every challenge into an opportunity to become one s best self-advocate.Bativich begins in the workplace, advising on winning a job, keeping it, and developing a long-term career, plus how to reduce stress and establish fulfilling professional relationships with colleagues. She offers tips on communication ranging from having sales people face you for easier speechreading to parsing boarding anuncements at airports and play-by-play at ballparks. Her practical handbook also provides step-by-step guidance for getting a hearing aid or a cochlear implant and finding one s way through prickly insurance claim mazes. Sound Sense features information on finding a service dog, securing legally mandated accommodations for continuing education, tips on exercise and health, and even sensitive suggestions on strengthening personal relationships. Bativich s vivacious style and her own anecdotes add an upbeat, genuine sensibility to her book s value as a positive guide to living with hearing loss.
