The Better Hearing Institute (BHI) announced today that it has launched a discussion forum to help people and their families cope with hearing loss.
This unique online forum covers a wide range of hearing health topics. It is designed as the go-to place for people with mild-to-severe hearing loss who are looking for a peer support community where they can chat and exchange information on hearing loss, treatments, tinnitus, hearing loss prevention, and other related topics.
To participate in the discussion forum, visit http://www.betterhearing.org, click on “Discussion Forum,” and go to “Welcome!” to register.
Moderated by BHI, the free discussion forum will have quick and convenient access to a wealth of accurate and valuable hearing health information found on the BHI web site.
“Hearing loss is challenging for many people to deal with because it can be so isolating,” says Sergei Kochkin, PhD, BHI’s executive director. “Unaddressed hearing loss can affect virtually every aspect of a person’s life.

Kochkin said that connecting with others with hearing loss grappling with the same issues can provide great comfort and support.
The BHI discussion forum index includes topics such as Hearing Loss 101; Hearing Loss Treatment: Hearing . . . → Read More: New Hearing Loss Forum
