Date: May 5, 2012

Topic: Gael Hannan is a writer, actor and public speaker who grew up with a progressive hearing loss that is now severe-to-profound.  Gael presented “The Masks of Hearing Loss: Bluffing 101.” Every person with hearing loss “bluffs,” pretending to understand what’s going on, even when they don’t. Some of us do it on occasion, while some of us move from one bluff moment to another! This amusing workshop looked at why and when we bluff, why we should or shouldn’t, and how we can ban the bluff in our lives.

Presenter: Gael Hannan
