I Have a Friend Who is Deaf

by Hannah Carlson and Dale Carlson

Published 1 December 1995

The biggest problem people with a deafness or hearing loss encounter is that of living in a world of sound, that insists on auditory cues, that treats those without hearing as of they were without sense. If you are family or caregiver, old friend or new friend, learn that there are resources for information, help, and reassurance, and in a world that tends to avoid or misunderstand, an offer of help and knowledge of what is available can be an end to the despair of isolation.
