OSHER 197 - Living With Hearing Loss

Whether you experience hearing loss yourself or regularly interact with someone who struggles with their hearing, you know that communication is not always easy even though it sometimes goes well. This class, based on materials developed by Dr. Sam Trychin, explores what contributes to the differing experiences we have in communication and understanding, how to identify them, and what to do about them. Technology will be touched on but the emphasis of the class is changing the behaviors that make hearing loss more difficult. Learn what you can do, what they can do, and how to ask for what you need. This class will have assisted listening and real-time captioning to make it fully accessible to people with hearing loss.
