Living Successfully With Hearing Loss - Online Course at Vancouver Community College
Some people still struggle day-to-day even with the use of their hearing aids. Others want to learn as much as possible to maximize their communication abilities. A course offered at Vancouver Community College (VCC) meets these needs:
-
Living Successfully With Hearing Loss (LSWHH) is an engaging and educational course taught by our fantastic colleague, Audiologist Dr. Lisa Dillon Edgett. This course helps you develop tools and strategies to cope with hearing loss, beyond the use of hearing aids.
-
The course allows the students the opportunity to create more effective personal communication, to identify and select communication strategies and tools, to increase self-confidence levels, and to learn to self-advocate. The students practice speechreading; they detect differences in mouth movements, discriminate and identify visual aspects of speech, and incorporate visual information with what they hear with the goal of improving personal communication.
-
The course is also very helpful for family members of people living with hearing loss , providing a deeper understanding of what your loved one experiences.
Our clients who have attended consistently give this class excellent reviews - Lisa really is an exceptional teacher! The course consists of small online classes (afternoon and evening times are available), once per week for 12 weeks.
Level 1 begins September 13th, 2022. Tuition and fees are approximately $295, but financial aid may be available.
