COURSE OVERVIEW:

Welcome to the Supporting Older People with Hearing Loss in Aged Care course. Hearing loss is a prevalent condition among older adults, affecting their ability to communicate, connect socially, and maintain emotional well-being.

This course aims to equip you with the knowledge and strategies to effectively support older individuals experiencing hearing loss. We begin by defining the types of hearing loss, understanding its prevalence in older populations, and exploring its significant impact on daily living, emotional health, and overall quality of life.

The relationship between hearing and ageing is essential to understanding the challenges faced by older adults. This course will explore common causes of age-related hearing loss, such as presbycusis, and its effects on cognitive and emotional health, dispelling myths and misconceptions about hearing loss in ageing.

Recognising hearing loss early is vital for timely intervention. You will learn to identify signs and symptoms, conduct basic hearing screenings, and refer clients to audiologists and hearing specialists for accurate diagnosis and tailored solutions.

Legal and ethical considerations play a crucial role in supporting hearing impaired clients. This course will cover the rights of older people with hearing loss, your duty of care as a provider, and compliance with Australian disability discrimination laws to ensure respectful, inclusive care practices.

Effective communication is a cornerstone of hearing loss support. This course will provide practical strategies for using verbal and non-verbal communication techniques, incorporating visual cues, and overcoming barriers in group settings to foster meaningful interactions with clients.

Hearing aids and assistive technologies can greatly enhance the lives of hearing impaired individuals. You will gain insights into different types of hearing aids, introduce clients to assistive listening devices, and guide them in using these technologies effectively to improve their hearing experience.

Creating a hearing-friendly environment is key to supporting clients with hearing loss. You will learn to reduce background noise, enhance acoustics, and organise spaces to facilitate communication and comfort for hearing impaired clients.

Hearing loss often has a psychological and emotional impact on individuals. This course will teach you how to address the emotional challenges associated with hearing loss, support clients experiencing anxiety or depression, and connect them with counselling and peer support services.

Social inclusion is critical to combating isolation for individuals with hearing loss. You will explore strategies for encouraging participation in social activities, connecting clients to hearing loss support organisations, and fostering social connections to improve quality of life.

Supporting daily activities requires clear communication and adaptive strategies. This course will provide guidance on assisting clients with personal hygiene, grooming, dressing, eating, and toileting, while promoting independence in activities of daily living (ADLs).

Managing dual sensory loss presents unique challenges. This course will explore strategies for supporting clients with combined hearing and vision loss, enhancing communication, and accessing specialist services to meet their complex needs effectively.

Family and caregiver engagement is integral to holistic care. This course will guide you in educating families about hearing loss, collaborating with them to provide effective support, and addressing their concerns and expectations to create a cohesive care approach.

Monitoring and evaluating care outcomes ensures continuous improvement. You will learn how to set measurable goals, review care plans and hearing devices regularly, and adjust strategies based on client progress and feedback to maintain high standards of care.

Addressing challenges in hearing loss care requires creativity and adaptability. This course will explore methods for managing resistance to hearing aids, overcoming communication barriers in complex situations, and balancing individual client needs with resource limitations.

The course concludes with case studies and best practices, offering insights into lessons learned from supporting hearing impaired clients, analysing complex scenarios, and implementing evidence-based strategies to improve care outcomes.

By the end of this course, you will be well-equipped to support older people with hearing loss, fostering their independence, enhancing their communication abilities, and ensuring their overall well-being in aged care settings.

Each section is complemented with examples to illustrate the concepts and techniques discussed.

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.

Definitely worth the read!
Format: Kindle
After taking a deep breath and taking in that wicked twist of an ending, I have finally composed myself. My first thought when I started this book was that I love Reyna's character. I was intrigued by her connection with her familiar and the Ruin that is plaguing her land. It came as no surprise that she took her sister's place in an attempt to protect her. When they reach the Air Court everything slows down. This is where it was iffy for me. First of all, I like multiple POV's in books however 7 is a bit much. It starts to interrupt the story line. I felt like I was finally making progress connecting with one character, then it was switched to another person. I felt they all had necessary or pertinent information but not necessarily were they all POV worthy. The only other thing that annoyed me was that Reyna constantly was " trapped." She would rush off without thinking, only to need rescuing. She is brilliant in a fight, but she really doesn't think through anything. Lorcan is amazing. I know he might be on the "bad" list, but his background is so interesting. Eislyn(Reyna's sister) is really so sweet, but calculating. I enjoyed her and Thane's dialogue. The author did an amazing job with the imagery in this book. Everything was so detailed it was easy to fall into the scene. I love unexpected twists and while part of the ending I expected, I wasn't expecting how it took place. All in all, I found it very entertaining and I am very invested in continuing this series. Favorite quotes: "The truth may be twisted but never false." "Who was she if she was not the enemy of the Air Court? What was her purpose of she no longer has that?" "In a war-torn land, love was always a lie."

Great Read!!! Great story!!!
Format: Kindle
The series is long, but Ms. Wolfhart does a fantastic job of weaving this tale while bringing so much to the characters. Surprises and plot twists along the way to keep you intrigued. There is some graphic sex, but is no way the focal point. Grammar was excellent (a rare find with a lot of self publishers) with only a few noted errors. I rarely give 4 stars, let alone 5.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character. *****SPOILERS***** Pros: The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits. Cons: Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks. The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back. ***** As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short. Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.
