61 Days of Hearing Loss"" is a personal memoir by Chelle Wyatt, detailing her life adventures, strategies, and emotional journey while navigating life with a severe hearing loss. Over the course of two months, she shows that successful living with hearing loss requires more than hearing devices - it's a combination of communication strategies, technology, awareness, and advocacy.

Wyatt, who has worn hearing aids since 1991, shares daily vignettes categorized by strategy, technology, emotion, or awareness. Key strategies include using ""The Three Golden Rules"" to improve communication, planning ahead for events, and taking hearing breaks to combat listening fatigue.

Assistive listening technology is a recurring theme, highlighting the use of remote mics, TV listening systems, and Automatic Speech Recognition captions. Wyatt discusses the limitations and benefits of these tools and advocates for the superior accuracy of live captioning provided by a person in critical situations.

The book addresses emotional aspects like fear, common communication frustrations, and the sense of ""hearing aid privilege"". It emphasizes self-advocacy, setting healthy boundaries, and educating hearing partners to reduce communication breakdowns and social isolation. Each day concludes with a ""Life Lesson"" offering tips and resources for readers to use in their life.
