From the moment I started reading this book, I couldn't put it down. It was nice to be able to relate to someone's else's story and it helped put my emotions and fears into perspective. It helped me see the bigger picture in all of this. I have since recommended it to the speech and developmental therapists that work with our daughter and they have added it to their school's library. We were lucky enough to catch our daughter's hearing loss right at birth and thanks to this book, are better educated and aware of what to expect and questions to ask. 0 of 0 found this review helpful: Very helpful in educating parents on hearing loss in kids, 2007-03-28 I really enjoyed this book. I ordered it as soon as my infant son was diagnosed with a mild-to-moderate hearing loss and it proved to be a valuable resource for us. It was a great introduction into the world of audiologists, hearing aids, ENTs, etc. I highly recommend this book for the initial diagnosis period, when you need to understand all you are about to deal with. 2 of 2 found this review helpful: A must for parents of hearing impaired children, 2005-09-23 This book explains to parents of hearing impaired children the various procedures and types of devices developed to meet the needs of these children. In concise language that the laymen can understand, this story gives accurate information regarding the use of hearing devices and some of the problems that may arise from their use. It also presents to the professionals the feelings and needs of the parents, The author uses both humor and pathos to describe the many problems faced by both the parents of hearing impaired children and the professionals who work with them. 1 of 1 found this review helpful: Great Even If It Doesn't Apply to You, 2005-09-11 I've been trying to get my parents and grandmother to wear hearing aids for decades -- all to no avail. They say that hearing aids don't work and they'd be embarrassed by the looks. So when I came across this book, which describes in close, interesting and lively detail everything you need to know about different types of hearing loss, how hearing aids work, the strengths and weaknesses of various assistive devices, the importance of hearing to proper language and social development, and most importantly, the emotional aspects of hearing loss for both parents and children, I knew this was the book for me. No matter that this is meant for parents of young children; the information is useful to anyone who knows anyone hard of hearing, and the writing intimate and engaging even if you don't. After reading the book, I understand better some of the old attitudes and social constraints that keep my family from taking responsibility for their own health -- and now I have the facts (and a long list of inspirational stories!) that will give them the courage to get the help they need. 3 of 3 found this review helpful: Great resource, 2005-05-26 I wish this book had been available when my son was diagnosed with a mild to moderate hearing loss 12 years ago. It is very informative and provides great information. I had found it difficult to find information regarding the hard of hearing child when my son was first diagnosed. It is also wonderfully comforting to read the experiences of other parents - it made me realize that I certainly was not alone. I bought an extra copy and gave it to my son's hearing itinerant so she could share it with other families.
