Hearing Aids: the first 30 days

Dr. Dancer will be your guide. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience as a Professor Emeritus of Audiology. He'll provide you with calmness and a pathway of centeredness along your journey, and keep you focused on what matters most. In the process, as Dr. Dancer states, ...You will discover a greater sense of yourself, more independence, perhaps higher self-esteem, less anxiety, and gladly, a greater desire to socialize." [Jess Dancer, Ed.D. (2009)]

2009 Book Review

"Wonderful, wise and witty-(Five Stars!)-the hearing aid version of Life's Little Instruction Book. This is a gem of a book chock full of technical advice and practical wisdom. From the very first page Dr. Dancer reaches out with warmth and understanding to educate, encourage and enlighten readers as they maneuver through the sometimes awkward first 30 days of wearing hearing aids.

"The reader-friendly format offers short sections that inform and inspire, integrating a series of discussions and worksheets that help readers to document feelings and celebrate progress. Dr. Dancer's upbeat and honest approach explains, teaches and soothes, helping readers to understand processes, develop realistic expectations and implement personal strategies for success.

"This instructive handbook takes new hearing aid wearers on a wonderful journey, offering day-by-day guidance along a clear path to hearing aid acceptance. It should be standard issue with every new hearing aid dispensed."
