New booklet guides intellectually disabled about hearing aids | Widex has published a unique booklet in order to help inform people with intellectual disabilities about the advantages of using hearing aids.
Heleen Evenhuis, Professor of Intellectual Disability Medicine at the Erasmus University Medical Center, Rotterdam, the Netherlands, initiated and developed the project together with intellectual disability physician-researcher Anneke Meuwese-Jongejeugd and designer Nanette Evenhuis.
‘Our experience is that this booklet is attractive to adolescents and adults with intellectual disabilities, and not least their family and carers, who can help them to recognise their hearing loss and encourage them to wear their hearing aids’, states Professor Evenhuis.
‘We have tried to put the message across in the form of, of course, a love story! The short texts can be read by the persons themselves or by their carers, and are illustrated by clear and simple full-colour drawings’, says Evenhuis.
The booklet is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Dutch and German, and it can be acquired from all Widex distributors.
