Book about deafness and hearing loss

Juliet England is publishing a book called Deafness and Hearing Loss: The Essential Guide in the UK. She has had a hearing loss since birth and in a recent BBC article, she says, "It is something that has affected me at various stages of my life, work and studying." Juliet refers to hearing loss as the "invisible disability," which she felt so passionately about helping others better understand. 

The BBC article provides wonderful insight into Juliet's ups and downs of living with her hearing impairment. Her book "gives information on how hearing loss is caused, the things you can do to make life better for you or a close family member, and how to overcome the daily challenges of living with a hearing loss" among other topics including hearing aid technology and strategies for coping with deafness. 

It will be insightful to learn about coping strategies and perspectives from an individual who has organized her experiences in the form of book. Although these topics are taught in my educational program, it is very different to learn from one's first person viewpoint.
