Module 1: Introduction to the Ear & Hearing
What You'll Learn In This Module
This level is for everyone. Knowing you have a hearing disorder is one thing, but understanding it more will help you to be better prepared to navigate it. Learn about the mechanics of the ear as well as the psychological aspects of hearing loss. You are here because you are in search of new knowledge. You may find that you already knew most of the information here, but hopefully it's a good review and strengthens your confidence. We will talk about realistic expectations and how, unfortunately, even people with normal hearing struggle in difficult listening situations so this information is meant to help you maximize your hearing potential. With that being said, you need to write down your own goals of what you'd like to achieve. Sometimes it doesn't involve hearing everything, but to understand more than before and while using less energy.
