Reviews

A much-needed and easy-to-read resource for individuals who have experienced a sudden hearing loss, as well as for their friends and family. Personal stories help readers feel less alone, while tips and practical advice provide a 'where do I start' checklist to help people move forward.

— Shari Eberts, co-author of Hear & Beyond: Live Skillfully with Hearing Loss

Hearing loss isn't just something shown on an audiogram or measured in decibels. But, rather, looming above all is the emotional impact it has on lives. The authors give complete information on all aspects of hearing loss punctuated with compelling, personal stories. There is also a clear message throughout: run, don't walk, to get medical care for a sudden hearing loss.

— Barbara Kelley, Executive Director, Hearing Loss Association of America

A masterful balancing of succinct personal narratives with incisively researched practical insights, not just to give patients a firm pathway past fight or flight, but also to rouse clinicians who downplay the urgency and trauma of Sudden Hearing Loss. A triumph of considerate inquiry!

— Peter Wix, Editor in Chief of Audiology Worldnews

This book provides a valuable resource for any patient with sudden sensorineural hearing loss by combining patient experiences with an accessible explanation of the condition, its effects, and management.

— Matthew Smith, Matthew Smith, PhD, Consultant ENT Surgeon, University of Cambridge
