Burkey gathered information from his own patients and their spouses. \u003ci\u003eThe Hearing-Loss Guide\u003c\/i\u003e presents their candid recommendations for anyone who suffers hearing loss, as well as families, friends, and co-workers.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e The author opens with chapters on the basics of hearing loss, hearing aids and other devices, and treatments. He then turns to his patients, who discuss coping with hearing loss, the real-life consequences of losing hearing, how to get help, adapting to a hearing aid, and other useful topics.
