My World: ’I’m in-between’’ But really, what does that mean?
*Disclaimer: this blog is my personal viewpoint, please be mindful when reading* ‘Not deaf enough for the Deaf World & not hearing enough for the Hearing World’.

WAKE UP TALK If the lack of deaf awareness in audiology environments wasn’t already sadly an issue despite being in the 21st Century, add COVID19 into the mix too and unfortunately it’s creating an anxiety ridden environment despite the primary emphasis within these environments to help enhance and improve quality of life, confidence and self-esteem.Continue reading “How much more UNaware until changes are made?- Audiology in the 21st Century.”
