I’m still working on the book proposal. It’s starting to look really good, and I had to change one chapter a bit.
I’ve already got ideas for a second book.
I’m still at the House Ear Institute, helping out with lipreading research.
I will be at the Walk4Hearing in Long Beach, CA on November 8th. Hope you can [...]

October is National Protect Your Hearing Month and it’s also Audiology Awareness Month. It’s a good month to check out your hearing for the upcoming holidays.
My DHH book proposal went out for review. I won’t hear anything until October 19th. So now I’m reading other hearing loss books and if I see anything I like, [...]

Well, the weather has cooled off significantly, so I’ve been working on the DHH book proposal. It is coming along, and I have a target date of end of September.
I also will be helping the House Ear Institute in downtown L.A., helping with research purposes. It is in the field of lipreading. It sounds really [...]

I apologize for not blogging as much, but the book proposal and end of summer activities have kept me busy.
In the next week or so, I think the book proposal will be finished. It’s starting to look really nice, and I think I have novel information to offer the DHH reading market.
Interestingly, here are many, [...]

This morning I was shopping at my local grocery store.
While in there, I saw a DHH woman walking down an aisle with a hearing son. It was apparent to me that she had a cochlear implant done in the past. We were surprised to see each other, because obviously we are both local. I didn’t [...]

I am so glad to be rid of that darn cold. I think I haven’t had a serious cold like that for 3 or 4 years. It was nasty.
Anyway, I was informed my certification as a hearing loss support specialist will arrive in the mail shortly. When it comes, I hope to post it to [...]
My Hearing Cat

I am totally convinced that our cat, Princess, knows I have hearing loss.
If there is something going on, or she wants something, she will bump me, pull my hair with her teeth, or even bite me gently. This is while I’m asleep. I usually can figure out that she wants to get out of our [...]

How would you like to have a hearing aid implanted in your molar?
Yes, I mean a tooth. This particular type of hearing aid is only for someone who is deaf in one ear, like actor Rob Lowe is. This is in the research mode though, and they are looking for suitable candidates. As I understand [...]

I found out this morning that I passed the course.
So now I’m pleased to be able to help others who have issues or concerns about hearing loss via this blog and a planned, future book.
It’s an important subject, because the number of people with hearing loss is expected to rise dramatically for the coming [...]
