Relationships and Hearing Loss
Do you know people with hearing loss? Do you listen to them with your ears, or with your heart? Dr. Michael Harvey shows you a deeper way of tuning in to the personal and sometimes overwhelming struggles of those who have lost their hearing, and whose relationships face new challenges.

Focusing on finding answers to the questions, Why me? and What do I do now? the author shares true stories from his psychotherapy practice with individuals, couples, and families. Virtually all of them have grappled with painful and unfamiliar barriers to communication and with a shaken sense of identity.

Their self-discovery and adjustment will move you and give fresh insight into the impact of a hearing loss on individuals accustomed to the world of sound.

Sympathetic, gentle, and encouraging, Listen with the Heart: Relationships and Hearing Loss is written for family and friends as well as professionals. It is an excellent text for college and graduate level courses in psychology, mental health counseling, speech and hearing, special education, and deaf education.
