Listen. Struggle. Repeat.

What do you do when the world keeps talking - and you can barely hear it?

For Dominique Briscoe, that question has defined every stage of life. Diagnosed with hereditary hearing loss at age four, she has navigated childhood in the halls of Washington, D.C., varsity cheerleading, college, a real estate career, a classroom full of high school students, motherhood, and devastating audiologist appointments - all while learning, failing, and finding her way back to herself.

Listen. Struggle. Repeat is part memoir, part survival guide, and entirely honest. With warmth, humor, and hard-won wisdom, Briscoe walks readers through the emotional weight of hearing loss - the self-doubt, the exhaustion of straining to hear, the quiet grief of missing moments - and then hands them a roadmap out.

Organized around three powerful questions - What do you need to know? What do you need to change? What can you expect? - this book delivers practical, proven strategies for navigating conversations, workplaces, relationships, and your own inner voice when hearing loss makes all of it harder than it should be.

You will learn how to sharpen lip-reading skills, decode body language, build an inner circle that truly supports you, manage anxiety in noisy environments, advocate for yourself at work, and - most importantly - refuse to let a hearing loss define the size of your life.

This book is for you if you live with hearing loss. And it's for everyone who loves someone who does.
