Highly informative, told with warmth and humour. This book is important. -- Mark Atkinson, former CEO of the Royal National Institute for Deaf People Groundbreaking * RNID magazine * Heartfelt and hilarious - deaf awareness beautifully told through Sam's unique voice. Samantha is a strong and powerful woman who talks so openly about her life and about being a part of the deaf community. To have someone who wants to help and wants to make a difference is so important and Sam is that person. Hilarious and so informative . . . You'll want to cherish it and thrust it in the face of everyone you meet all at once. It's great to see Samantha being open about her deaf journey and her mission to improve deaf awareness. Living with hearing loss and deafness proves why we need to improve deaf representation and talk more about deafness in everyday life. As a hearing person, this book answers loads of questions you might have wanted to ask about hearing loss and deafness but were too afraid to ask. And even more importantly, it'll give you the confidence and skills to ask loads more. I imagine someone facing a change in their hearing would find it hugely reassuring. It confronts everyday fears and anxieties with advice, anecdotes, options and plenty of humour. Samantha has succeeded in writing a guidebook to deafness - a great read for anyone who is deaf or knows someone who's deaf and given that's 1 in 5 of the population, this is a book for everyone. Samantha Baines is on a mission to help educate others. * Good Housekeeping * Sam makes a tough subject accessible, easy to understand and above all else funny. Reminding us all that disability is a bizarre hilarious experience. Sam feels like the sarcastic best friend you want in the drs office with you Concise, clear and compassionate - Samantha Baines is a clever, compelling communicator and her new book Living With Hearing Loss & Deafness is a brilliant tool that will support & enlighten many. If you love, live or work with someone with hearing loss (and that's all of us) you need this book. It's funny, practical and moving - a handbook for humanity and inclusion.
