Guided by joy to live and work with hearing loss.
Jana Zajec
PMID 33427711WHAT IT FOUND
One occupational therapist describes changing work and finding joy after progressive hearing loss.
The paper reports no methods, outcomes, comparisons, or evidence that any approach works.
What this paper is
This is a first-person work transition narrative about one occupational therapist living with progressive hearing loss. It describes her experiences, supports, and career changes, but it is not a research study and there is no finding to act on.
The easy way to misread this
Do not read this one person's story as proof that yoga, role changes, or workplace support improve outcomes for people with hearing loss. It reports no outcomes or comparison group.
