Welcome
Are you an employee or working for yourself?
Have you recently become so severely deaf that you gain little benefit from hearing aids and do not have a cochlear implant?
Is your deafness causing you serious communication problems at work e.g. because you can no longer use the telephone or cannot follow discussion at meetings?
Or are you worried that this will happen to you soon because your hearing loss is progressive?
If the answer to these questions is “Yes” this website could be for you.
This website describes how 11 deafened workers overcame serious communication problems due to their deafness and related disabilities and provides a means for you to contact most of them for further information; but it also provides a means for you to add your own success story if you consider that you, too, have overcome serious communication problems at work due to your deafness.
To find out about the background to the research on which this website is based and the main findings have a look at The Research. By clicking on Individual Stories you will see the headlines of each deafened worker's story so that you can check whether any of their experience seems relevant to your own situation and, if so, can click on a link to the full story of how they overcame their communication problems at work.
