Hearing Loss Advocate, Writer, Speaker, Humourist
Gael Hannan is an advocate, writer, performer, and author of The way I hear it: a life with hearing loss. Hearing loss is not funny - but Gael Hannan asserts that a sense of humour makes living with it easier. Gael Hannan describes her hearing loss in many ways, and when she wants to make it short and snappy, she describes herself as a “HoH”, short for Hard of Hearing. Gael and her Hearing Husband Doug, have one son, Joel, and they divide their time between Ontario and Canada’s west coast.
