From the author:
"After more than 40 years, living as a hearing woman in a hearing world, I woke
up one day without sound. Being diagnosed as profoundly Deaf, I realized that I
now lived in a world which I never knew existed. Suddenly, I was bullied,
laughed at, put in the “too hard” file and abandoned by those I once proudly
called “my friends.”
With my rights having been taken away by the government, being told that I was
unteachable, unemployable, and then threatened with arrest for talking too
loudly in public, I learned the meaning of Audism and Surdophobia. I also
learned to stand up and be proactive.
This is the book I wish had been available to me when I first woke up to a world
of silence. In a way, I’ve written it for my younger self as well as others who
have lost or are losing their hearing. I share it in the hopes of softening the
impact of such a hard transition. Going from hearing to Deaf really knocks the
wind out of you, but not for the reasons you would expect."
