Textbook Information
These 10 true stories document the assaults to self-esteem, isolation, and spiritual crises that are faced by individuals with hearing loss, giving an intimate account of how each person triumphed and how therapeutic dialogue offers growth and inspiration. Struggling with psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of hearing loss reveals lessons valuable to anyone looking for self-understanding. Readers with acquired hearing loss will find validation of their experiences, and friends and family of people with hearing loss will find avenues to increased understanding and empathy.
A reader with a hearing loss will find Odyssey enriching and encouraging; a hearing reader will gain a greater respect for the feelings and resiliency of those who have hearing loss.
