Bridge of Time: Caregivers & Care Receivers with Hearing Loss in Alzheimer's & Dementia

Bridge of Time is a powerful guide for families navigating Alzheimer’s and dementia in the context of hearing loss. Whether you’re culturally Deaf, hard of hearing, DeafBlind, or experiencing late-onset hearing loss—or caring for someone who is—this book honors your unique challenges, in your language.Dr. Jaime Wilson, a Deaf prescribing medical psychologist and board-certified neuropsychologist, brings together science and true stories from his clinical work. Through practical strategies and visual metaphors, he explores how memory loss intersects with communication barriers, emotional exhaustion, and the deep grief of watching a loved one change.This book emphasizes survival and reconnection when the world feels silent or misunderstood. It offers Deaf-friendly best practices for home care and memory care settings, along with the validation that many caregivers never receive. With so few resources available for those with hearing loss, Bridge of Time is the guide that should have existed all along.You’re not alone. And you don’t have to figure it out without a map.“If you’re caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementia and hearing loss, this book is essential. It’s clear, compassionate, and full of practical guidance. Highly recommended for families who want to remain connected, even when communication becomes difficult.”—Dr. Douglas W.
