World Book Day and the Story Behind Our Sudden Hearing Loss Book
Once upon a time, well, almost 10 years ago to be more precise, I was working as a teacher in Spain’s capital, Madrid. It was a teacher training day, and a guest speaker was giving a presentation.
As I raised my head from writing some notes, my head filled with pressure and a loud screeching sound. The room started to spin around me. I didn’t realise in that moment, but this was when I lost all the hearing in my left ear to something I’d never even heard of: Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss.
Exciting Announcement for World Hearing Day: Our New Book on Sudden Hearing Loss!
On this World Hearing Day, I’m proud to announce that I’ve co-authored a book with audiologist Andrea Simonson and psychotherapist Caroline Norman. Our journeys through sudden hearing loss were different, but they shared the emotional rollercoaster of SSNHL. Caroline went through it firsthand, while Andrea supported her husband through his diagnosis.
This book combines research-backed insights with personal stories from over 60 people globally, providing support, hope, and practical guidance.
