Living Skillfully with Hearing Loss with Gael Hannan and Shari Eberts
This week on the Dr. Darrow podcast, we have special guests Gael Hannan and Shari Eberts!
Gael Hannan is a hearing health advocate, writer, and speaker/performer who lives with profound hearing loss. She creates award-winning awareness projects that help people live more successfully with their hearing challenges, including the acclaimed one-woman show “Unheard Voices”, a humorous memoir “The Way I Hear It: A Life with Hearing Loss” and a regular blog for HearingHealthMatters.org that has a passionate international following.
Shari Eberts is a passionate hearing health advocate and internationally recognized author and speaker on hearing loss issues. She is the founder of LivingWithHearingLoss.com, a popular blog and online community for people with hearing loss, and an executive producer of We Hear You, an award-winning documentary about the hearing loss experience. Shari has an adult-onset genetic hearing loss and hopes that by sharing her story, she will help others to live more peacefully with their own hearing issues.
Gael and Shari created the book Hear & Beyond: Live Skillfully with Hearing Loss together because Hearing loss doesn’t come with an operating manual―until now.

2. Why they're committed to hearing loss advocacy?
3. What is the three-legged stool of hearing loss?
4. Why are other strategies besides hearing aids required for communication success?
