Abstract: Often missing from the conventional hearing care model is the big picture—a real-life illustration of how hearing loss, its emotions, and its barriers affect every corner of your patient's life. We offer a new skills-based approach, that goes beyond just hearing better, to communicating better.

With honesty and humor, we will share our own hearing loss journeys, and outline invaluable insights, strategies, and workarounds to help your patients navigate all areas impacted by hearing loss, including relationships, work, technology; strategies for adopting a new, empowering mindset towards hearing loss; and communication behaviors that can make almost any listening situation manageable.

Learning Objectives:

Develop greater empathy and understanding of the lived experience of people with hearing loss.
Describe a skills-based approach to living with hearing loss that will benefit your clients.
Apply a skills-based approach in your aural rehabilitation and counseling work with clients.
