English Hearing

For 12 years, Bella Bathurst was deaf. She missed the punchlines and the jokes, avoided busy restaurants and raucous parties, and grew her hair long to cover hearing aids. But then, 12 years later, pioneering surgery on her ears gave her the chance to hear again. Sound is the extraordinary story of Bella's journey into deafness and back to hearing. Mixing memoir with interviews with soldiers, sign language experts, musicians, and mental health workers, Bella explores what it means to live with and without sound, and, in the process, uncovers a hidden world of sense and connection.

I have suffered with tinnitus for over 35 years. I was open to considering a pharmaceutical solution to help in the treatment process, but learned that as of 2013 there wasn't an FDA-approved drug available. The solution I found has been available for about a year and half. It masks the sound of tinnitus. With technology being in a constant state of evolvement, things will only get better. Today, we can at least treat the symptom. This audiobook is the result of my learning that I have tinnitus. It addresses what tinnitus is and my options for dealing with the problem.
