The Weight of Disclosing: My Hearing Needs Culture Unfit
-
- Carrières
In this episode, we hear a story of gradual hearing loss and the impact of this change at work. The mental and emotional toll of such a change in condition is already a lot to deal with. Maintaining the status quo at work so that others don't perceive a dramatic change in engagement or productivity slowly becomes more challenging. What accommodations can help in situations like this when disclosing your condition to colleagues is still difficult? And if you're at a point when you're ready to let others in on what you're experiencing, how do you broach the topic? Both the beautiful misfit who shared the story and @nikkastar offer up some thought starters to consider.
