If you think hearing aids are costly, you will be astounded to learn how much hearing loss can cost you at work, especially if left untreated.

Hearing aids are the first step towards improved quality of life. But there are other practical solutions that can help overcome the barriers of hearing loss.

Often, managers are more than willing to help an employee but don’t know where to find help. And the person with the hearing loss doesn’t know where to find help either.

That’s why I wrote On the Job with Hearing Loss – Hidden Challenges. Successful Solutions. I’ve worked with over 1000 individuals in nearly every occupation imaginable, helping to identify the challenges and issues they face. Untreated hearing loss cheats workers out of great performance reviews and opportunities for training and advancement.

On the Job with Hearing Loss lays out a plan for you to follow to identify the issues that challenge you. You can’t solve a puzzle without all the pieces and it’s the same way with finding accommodations. Once you uncover the areas that hold you back from peak performance, it becomes easy to find successful solutions.

I hope my experiences and those of the individuals and professionals who face these challenges will encourage you to be proactive and creative in finding the answers to make your work life more productive and less stressful.
