And it’s a wrap on another year for Living With Hearing Loss. Thank you to all my readers for sharing your thoughts and questions and helping me build a welcoming and enriching community for all of us. It has a been a busy year of writing, speaking, “We Hear You” screenings, and of course the launch of Hear & Beyond: Live Skillfully with Hearing Loss, co-authored with Gael Hannan.
As we look towards 2023, it is fun to take a look back at the highlights of 2022. See below for my favorite 2022 moments and please share yours in the comments.

“Hear & Beyond” A 2022 Highlight
In May 2022, Gael Hannan and I released our book “Hear & Beyond: Live Skillfully with Hearing Loss.” We are so proud of the wonderful response from both the hearing loss community and the professional community.
“Hear & Beyond” is available wherever books are sold as well as in many public libraries across the country. You can grab your copy on Amazon here.
If you liked the book, please write a review on Amazon or your favorite book review site. Reviews help others find the book too.
Favorite Podcast Episodes of 2022
Podcasts are a fun and easy way to raise awareness about hearing loss, and share the tips and tricks I use to live well—or should I say skillfully—with it. I always ask podcasters to provide a transcript so the audio is accessible for people with hearing loss. Most are happy to do so.
Here are a few of my favorite podcasts from 2022.
- Living Skillfully with Hearing Loss — Habits & Health Podcast. Watch here.
- Shari Eberts’ Hearing Loss Story — Hearing Wellness Journey Podcast. Watch here.
