Hearing Loss Rehab Institute Invites Public to 3 Day Institute on Coping with Hearing Loss. | WDEF News 12 | News, Weather and Sports for Chattanooga and the Tennessee Valley
The Hearing Loss Rehab Institute is now inviting hard of hearing people to attend a three day institute on coping with hearing loss.
The hearing loss rehab institute provides a valuable training for the hearing impaired.
There are approximately 36 million Americans who suffer from some degree of hearing impairment. 2 million Americans are functionally deaf, but do not know Sign Language. 500,000 Americans are culturally Deaf and speak only American Sign Language.
Hearing loss needs rehabilitation training to improve communication. Hearing aids are not a cure for hearing loss, only an aid. There are no perfect medical or technical solutions for hearing loss. We must use other ways to improve life and daily communication.
We as hearing loss support specialists have heard the cry of hard of hearing people. We have listened with intensity to the struggles you have to reconnect with your loved one and friends. Each handicapped person has to deal with hearing loss from a different perspective and in a different environment.We have indentified many of your concerns about hearing loss and will address them at the Hearing Loss Rehab Institute.
Our goal is to ease the suffering and pain you experience with hearing loss by giving you tools to overcome challenges you face daily. We are working along with audiologists to provide non-medical aural (hearing) rehabilitation.
Topics to be taught are improving quality of life by adjusting to hearing loss. Making hearing loss visible to change the way others think about hard of hearing people. Our goal is to minimize communication breakdowns by developing new skills that can be put into practice immediately. You will learn the power of lip reading, the visual manifestation of the spoken word. You will walk away from this rehabilitation institute with hearing techniques and strategies that can change your life.
David M. Harrison will be leading the Hearing Loss Rehab Institute. He is the Founder and Director of the Lip Reading Academy in Chattanooga. Harrison was born hard of hearing and understands the plight of hearing loss. He is a committed advocate for hearing accessibility in the home, school, workplace and church. He is a graduate from Taylor University in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. He has studied at the American Academy of Hearing Loss Support Specialists. He and his wife Cathy, an RN, have taken the Summer Institute of Linguistics, in Grand Forks, ND. They have served as missionaries for over forty years.
