Books with title And So, Ahmed Hears

Ahmed is a little boy who spends his days with his family doing things he enjoys like going to the park and swimming in the ocean. Although he seems to be a typical two year old, mama has concerns that he may not be hearing. So off they go to the doctor and eventually to the audiologist who diagnoses a hearing loss. Fit with hearing aids, Ahmed is now able to enjoy the sounds of life. And So Ahmed Hears was written to increase public awareness about childhood hearing loss and to help alleviate some of the stigma associated with it.

I would like to dedicate this book to the hearing-impaired children of the world, but particularly to those children I have had the pleasure of working with in Canada, Vietnam, Kuwait, England and most recently Saudi Arabia. I have had an extremely rewarding career as an audiologist and it has been both challenging and fulfilling to work with these children and their families as they discover sound and learn to communicate with their residual hearing. I would like to acknowledge a very special little girl, Divya, who was just three years old when I taught sign language to her and her mother in Kuwait. She has touched my heart and I will never forget her determination to learn. The sounds of life are truly a blessing that all should be able to enjoy.
