This is a letter to my mother about our journey through my progressive hearing loss. I started losing my hearing when I was 6. When I turned 31, I did my first cochlear implant. Less than two years later, she passed away. ?My name is Paula Pfeifer and I lead the largest digital community of…
Books about hearing loss written by people with hearing loss are jewels. I became a deaf author because I could not find the books I wanted to read when I was at college, dealing with my feelings about my hearing disability. The first books I found were about sign language, Deaf community and Deaf culture,…
Books for children with hearing loss whose characters wear hearing aids and cochlear implants are very impactftul: it’s the power of representativity. In the colorful world of children’s literature, every story holds the power to ignite young imaginations and shape their understanding of the world around them. For children with cochlear implants (CIs) and hearing…
This post was written in 2010, when I was a hearing aid user. As with almost everything concerning hearing loss remains current. My name is Paula Pfeifer and I lead the largest digital community of people with hearing loss in Brazil and Latin America. I also have part of my work in English: The Hearing…
In May 2013, I shared my 30-year journey with progressive hearing loss in Vogue Brazil.

I’m a deaf author of three books (you can find them on Amazon), and I lead the largest online community for…
The day of the activation of your Cochlear Implant arrived? Of course I would write tips for adapting to the cochlear implant. Adaptation to CI is a process, and you should face it without feeling anxious and comparing yourself with other people. Be patient! The initial sound might be weird, and the revelation of how noisy…
The bilateral Cochlear Implant surgery, in my case, was a long decision. Only three years after my first Cochlear Implant, and after my mother’s death I started thinking seriously about it. What was different about the second CI was that it had special participation from my husband, who is an ENT doctor who specialized in hearing loss,…
More often than not, I hear people saying, “Hearing loss isn’t even that big of a problem.” Of course, the people who say that can hear perfectly well. It seems they can’t hear themselves. I always thought I managed my own hearing loss very well, until I started to hear again.** Many times, I tried…
I spent my whole life losing my hearing. It started at the age of 6, and by the time I was 31, I couldn’t hear anything. That’s when I had the first cochlear implant surgery, which revolutionized my life by giving me back all the sounds of the world and, most importantly, the understanding of…
