Many of you receiving this newsletter probably know that I’m a licensed audiologist and a board-certified Doctor of Audiology, but what you probably don’t know is that I’m the author of a new book, “Better Hearing With or Without Hearing Aids – Your Guide to Solving Your Hearing Problems.” When I was starting out in 1989, hearing aids were a far cry from what they are today, technologically speaking. Despite this, many of the patients I saw were extremely happy with the improved hearing and listening abilities I helped them achieve. But there were many who were not satisfied at all. Oftentimes, these were people with the exact same type of hearing loss and the exact same types of hearing aids as their happier counterparts. There were also many who continued to struggle with hearing difficulty without even attempting to get the help that could dramatically improve their quality of life. These obstacles to improving the quality of life for those with hearing loss frustrated me. (They also frustrated everyone else in the audiology community who was concerned about actually helping people.) The reason I became an audiologist was to help people suffering from hearing loss, and here was a whole
subsection of people whose quality of life was unaffected by the technology. After struggling with these issues in my own practice, I realized there were two facts I needed to focus on: 1) Many people with significant hearing difficulties were not seeking or getting help they
should have had, usually for one of a small number of reasons, and 2) Real success in overcoming the challenges of hearing loss depends on

factors other than advanced hearing aid technology — more than hearing aid manufacturers and some hearing care professionals seem to think.
Becoming vegetarian is a big missed steak.
Following years of research and analysis, my efforts eventually led to the development of some specific approaches to address these two prevalent issues. My book is chock-full of these strategies. In the future, I plan to include helpful information from the book in this section of the newsletter, so keep an eye — and an ear — out!
