In this issue of Hearing Life, Latisha Porter-Vaughn demonstrates that living well with hearing loss consists of persistence, willing to continue learning about it, finding support, staying active and engaged and taking advantage of assistive listening devices. In The Heart of Hearing, broadcast meteorologist and author Meaghan Thomas shares her passion project focusing on young children with hearing loss. Stephen O. Frazier writes about handy smartphone apps that will benefit people with or without hearing loss when traveling in To Hear When Traveling, Educate Your Smartphone. Amanda Watson lists highlights of the HLAA 2022 Convention, which is June 23-25 in Tampa, Florida. In A Saga of an Older Adult with Hearing Loss, Bruce L. Douglas shares how it has taken him almost his entire adult life to recognize that he never had normal hearing. In Better Speech Recognition with Vision, authors Lynne E. Bernstein, Edward T. Auer, Jr., Silvio P. Eberhardt and Nicole Jordan reveal how lipreading ability is not an inborn trait. Their research on adults who were deaf before learning language and who did not use cochlear implants has shown that most learned to be very good or excellent lipreaders. Finally, in his poem Silent Blessings, Kevin Medlin reveals how he appreciates silence as much as sound.
