America's aging population faces all kinds of potentially embarrassing challenges, including one of the most common, hearing loss. Rather than using the authority-to-patient model, clinical audiologist Burkey shares first-person accounts to establish a greater degree of personal experiences, a more effective and more comforting approach to a health concern many find difficult to acknowledge and deal with in our youth-obsessed culture. Burkey covers the basics of hearing loss: the anatomy and functions involved, the medical tests, and the available treatments, from surgery to technological aids such as amplified telephones. These explanations provide the foundation for the patient accounts, which make up most of the book. People discuss hearing loss consequences: you feel left out . . . isolated . . . discouraged . . . irritable. One individual offers a wish list that includes better advice on hearing-loss prevention and hearing aids free of background noise. Others offer commentary from the perspective of the spouse or significant other of a hearing-impaired person. With a resource list and other useful addenda, Burkey's guide fills an important niche in health-care literature.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
