Living with hearing loss requires individuals to maintain high levels of mental and physical vigilance to detect, process, and respond rapidly to unpredictable or hard-to-perceive auditory inputs. Such vigilance can be an unrecognized source of stress. This presentation describes a set of coping strategies designed to recognize, talk about, and work with the stressors of living with a hearing impairment.
