Hearing Loss CPR -Keeping the Connection Alive | Linnaea Mallette | TEDxCamarillo

Have you ever wondered about hearing loss? What it sounds like, what it feels like, and the impact on one's life? Linnaea Mallette provides simple steps to take when conversing with a hearing-impaired person to facilitate "connection."

Linnaea Mallette, hearing impaired since birth, speaks and writes about the effects of hearing loss on both those with the disability and those connected to them. She has been recognized and honored by UCLA and Toastmasters International for her leadership example as well as her successes. She is one of twelve individuals nationwide to receive the “Oticon Focus on People” award which is given to those who defy the stereotypes of being hard-of-hearing. She is the author of three books and is currently working on an expanded version of her hearing loss book to include cochlear implant technology and challenges.
