If you are blind or visually impaired and wear hearing aids, Mosen 

Consulting would be grateful for your help.

Jonathan Mosen and Bonnie Lannom are seeking interview subjects for a 

book on the social, attitudinal, and technological challenges faced by 

blind people who also wear hearing aids. If you'd like to help, we'll 

send you a Word document containing an extensive survey that we hope 

will encourage you to share your experiences. There is also the 

possibility of a follow-up phone interview. You can contribute 

anonymously or potentially have your comments attributed to you in the 

book, whichever you prefer.

Examples of the issues we're interested in covering include experiences 

bad and good working with audiologists, funding, situations you avoid, 

technologies you've tried that have been helpful, and technologies 

you've tried that have not.

The goal of the book is to educate current and future blind hearing aid 

users, blindness professionals, hearing aid manufacturers and 

audiologists on the specific social and technological needs people with 

dual sensory loss face when being fitted for hearing devices.

Participants can be any age from any where in the world. 

Professionals working in the field of blindness are also encouraged to 

participate. If you are interested in completing the survey or want 

more information, please 

(http://mosen.org/index.php/contact-jonathan/>complete the Mosen 

Consulting Contact Form and we'll be in touch by email.

We would also appreciate it if you would circulate this announcement 

widely to people you think may be interested in participating.

We're mindful that there is also a book to be written on the needs of 

blind people who wear cochlea implants. We understand a separate book 

is being planned on this subject and consider this an important and 

separate matter requiring a book of its own.

Thanks in advance to all who are willing to help us produce a resource 

we are sure will make a valuable contribution.
