Description: "Nothing prepared Monique Hammond for her own sudden hearing loss, and her questions to medical professionals often left her with more questions than answers. What Did You Say? is the book she wishes she had when she was coping with and trying to understand her own hearing loss. Hammond points out that she is not a professional hearing specialist, so her first important message is that people who experience any ear-related symptoms "'must consult their physician or ear specialist for proper diagnosis and treatment." From there, she provides organized, easy-to-understand facts and details that enable readers to have educated discussions with their medical professionals. Weaving together her own experiences with a wealth of information, Hammond's wisdom and insights are invaluable, and her story is one that needs to be shared"--Amazon.com, viewed July 10, 2012.
