Introduction to Hearing Loss and Tips for Better Communication
Come learn why hearing loss occurs, what signs to look out for and steps for addressing it. Hearing loss can make communicating with others challenging—even frustrating or embarrassing—when it is difficult to hear others clearly.
Audiologist Shelby Platia and Carolyn Ginsberg Stern of the Center for Hearing and Communication in NYC will also cover practical solutions for enhancing communication when interacting by phone/video call, in-person groups and in noisy settings such as restaurants or social gatherings.
This talk is appropriate for individuals with hearing loss, for those who are curious about the topic, as well as any family members and friends who are concerned about or seeking support for a loved one or friend coping with hearing loss. We will allocate time for Q & A, so bring your questions!
