Not First Choice
Although this book shares some good information and common sense, if you yourself are dealing with a hearing loss (as the book suggests), you will not find an unbiased opinion here. Stressing oralism (lipreading and listening with assistive listening devices), there is no talk of sign language whatsoever herein. If you're losing your hearing, but vow to never admit you're deaf (when the loss becomes that severe) and vow that you will stay in the "hearing world" at all costs, this is the book for you to read as you live in denial. However, if you are truly open to learning about every option offered you as a hard of hearing or deaf person, don't waste your time. That's just this deafie's opinion. :o) ... Read more

A Wonderful Resource for Parents
When my son had chronic ear infections and the possibility of ear tubes was suggested to us, I searched for a book that could explain in a 'parent-friendly' way the procedure we were considering.I could not find a book at the time that was written specifically for parents.Luckily my family doctor recommended that we see Dr. Rosenfeld.He very patiently explained the pros and cons of ear tubes and also took us step by step through what would happen to our son both before and after the tubes were inserted.His clarity with us and his gift of interacting with children made us feel at ease. It has been over two years since our son had ear tubes inserted and the change in his health has been amazing.For him, the decision to have tubes placed resulted in far fewer sicknesses, improved speech/language, and better attentiveness in school. Dr. Rosenfeld's book is written with the same informative, clear manner he uses when speaking with patients.The book is an excellent resource which will be invaluable to all parents who need to make an informed decision about ear tubes.

Great Relief For Parents
The book is a great resource for parents.It gives you clear factual information in plain English.Great illustrations and a Q & A format which made me forget I was reading a book and think I was having a chat with my child's own pediatrician.Rather than claiming to have all the answers all the time - which should make anyone suspicious - Dr. Rosenfeld tells you when there are medical differences of opinion and why he chooses the course he does.He debunks those annoying myths you continually bump up against and tells you why.This is a real-life book and this doctor is a great writer.I hope he writes a throat book next! ...

A Great Read!
A thoroughly heartfelt as well as informative book from a talented author. I felt like I knew them.

Fantastic Book!!!!
A deaf child raised by very loving family. The author taught her deaf child to speak and hear. She not only treat her like a normal hearing person, she allows her to learn signs with her deaf friends, and speak with her hearing friends, family and relatives. An Excellent Book
Truly a labor of love.This book is a wonderful chronology of a mother coping with a child's deafness in the days before ADA. ... Read more
