The Consumer Handbook

to Healing, upon its release, reached The
#1 Bestseller at amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com
and other online bookstores in its category
of “hearing loss” or “hearing
aids” and sustained this position for
years.
A scientific study using this
book as an educational tool for hearing aid
wearers (Kochkin, 1999: Hear Review) revealed
that consumers are significantly more satisfied
with their hearing aids when they are better
informed of what to expect—the purpose
of Dr. Carmen’s book.
It has received rave reviews
in the hearing industry:

How
Hearing Loss Impacts Relationships--Motivating
Your Loved One
by Richard E Carmen, Au.D.
ISBN: 09661826-3-4
soft cover only ($15.95); 107 pg
(Sedona AZ) Auricle Ink Publishers
announces release of perhaps one of the most
important books that loved ones of resistant
hard-of-hearing people will ever read. It is
not a book particularly for people who themselves
suffer from hearing loss, but rather, for the
families that must endure the hardships of loved
ones resistant to treatment.
Eighty percent of people
with hearing loss do not seek hearing aids or
other treatment. Among the 80 percent, many
dismiss the extent of the problem, some deny
they even have a problem, but almost all are
resistant to seeking help. This results in millions
of loved ones and their families enduring unnecessary
strife and conflict.
This is the first book exclusively
for families that explains how to manage the
frustrations of a highly resistant loved one
who won’t seek treatment for hearing loss.
It peels away layer after layer and exposes
what is behind the resistance. Vanity, stigma
and denial are addressed straight on. Steps
are provided on how to conquer the emotional
and psychological consequences that often bring
crisis to the entire family.
Besides fascinating insights
into the psychological mechanisms behind resistance,
clarified is the essential role family members
play in shifting their loved one from “struggling
to hear” to “hearing independence.”
It will inspire readers to make the necessary
adjustments in their lives that can result in
profound changes and a higher quality of life
for everyone.
Dr. Carmen, a consumer author
for more than 25 years, has been interviewed
on dozens of radio (and some television) shows,
and in dozens of newspapers and magazines. His
comments or feature articles have appeared in
Modern Maturity, Ladies’ Home Journal,
Target for the Family, Self Magazine and The
Saturday Evening Post to name a few. He
has been a contributing feature writer for hearing
industry journals as well.
