The World Health Organization (WHO) appointed March 3 World Hearing Daywith the aim of raising awareness about hearing loss and promoting the care of ears and auditory worldwide. This year’s theme is “to change the mentality: to empower yourself to realize the care of the ears and auditory for all.”
It is a powerful issue because it puts the person with hearing loss in the driver’s seat, recognizing that the attitudes we have about our auditory loss and the actions we take to advocate for ourselves are key to how good we live with her.
This is an important message in Listen and beyond: living skillfully with hearing loss. In the book, the co -author Gael Hannan and I encourage readers to take care of their hearing loss trips, because when they do, they can live more skillfully With that.
