Hello, my apologies for inactivity. I have been busy working and searching the web to ensure that the eBook is the best it can be, giving good value to you, the customer. I have realised how important it is to research information across the globe as many of the viewers to my website live in India, Pakistan and the far east. Only a few days from launch day, so wishing you all the very best for now.

Hearing Impairment by Brenda Williams

Hearing impairment can affect anyone at any age. It is when a person is unable to pick up sounds either at all or slightly. Not only are humans affected but animals are at risk for hearing impairment as well. Hearing loss can be conductive or sensorineural. Conductive hearing loss is when sound is not conducted through the outer or middle ear. Conductive hearing loss is a mild problem. Sensorineural hearing loss is when there are abnormalities within the hair cells of the Corti within the cochlea. This type of hearing loss can be mild to moderate to severe to complete deafness.

Hearing loss can be caused by repeated exposure to loud sounds such as airplanes, motor vehicles, jack hammers and other power tools, guns, toys and large crowds. People who live near busy freeways and airports can be exposed to the possibility of hearing loss if they leave their windows open on a regular basis. Construction workers that use jack hammers usually wear headsets to protect their ears from the noise. Other construction equipment can cause hearing loss if exposed to it for an extended period of time. Even children's toys, if too loud and the child holds it to their ear, can cause hearing loss over time.

It is possible for hearing loss to be inherited. If a family has a history of hearing loss, just like other conditions such as heart disease, it can be inherited from generation to generation. Hearing impairment can be caused by prolonged exposure to loud sounds, meningitis, mumps, fetal alcohol syndrome, premature birth, syphilis and Chlamydia. Hearing loss can also be caused by damage to the ear or the brain. Any trauma to the head can cause slight hearing loss, total deafness or tinnitus. People who are 'hard of hearing' means that they are not completely deaf but that they suffer from various stages of hearing loss.

Late Deafened - Denial of Hearing Loss by Late Deafened People

Late Deafened - Denial of Hearing Loss by Late Deafened People: "Why People Deny Hearing Loss
Hearing loss is denied for multiple reasons, such as being afraid of looking different with a hearing aid. Some are afraid of looking old, or don't want to be thought of as having a disability. Others may not realize their hearing loss is causing problems in daily interactions. Still others may think their hearing loss is not serious enough for a hearing aid.
Techniques for Denying Hearing Loss
There are commonly-used techniques for denying the hearing loss. One technique is to shift the blame for the hearing loss to other things or other people. Avoiding people is another technique, because if you don't have to interact with people you don't have to deal with the hearing problem. When well-meaning people suggest doing something about the hearing loss, the suggestion"

Managing Your Hearing Loss

Hello fellow bloggers
This is the first time I have tried blogging, so here goes.

I have a serious hearing loss issue and have spent a lot of time managing hearing loss and coming to terms with it, working out how to best manage it. In talking with others, I find that most people have made the same kind of mistakes that I did. Denying the problem and trying to continue as though nothing was wrong. I often misunderstood what was being said and sometimes felt very foolish indeed over mistaken hearing incidents.

Learning just how important our feelings are in relation to hearing loss and how frustration, anger, depression and negativity can make the problem worse was very important.

Having researched problems with communication, I am in the process of completing an eBook, giving the down-loader information about how to improve communication and hopefully to restore lost self esteem and regain confidence. The eBook is entitled Managing Your Hearing Loss and will be launched on the 31st of October 2008.

I would appreciate any feedback from anyone who looks at the site, as all comments will be taken into consideration and could help in making this eBook even more useful. All contributions will be attributed to the responder.
