Wired For Sound: A Journey Into Hearing Wired for Sound: A Journey into Hearing Blindfolding your eyes, plugging your ears, and taping your mouth shut, these are all ways we simulate being blind, deaf or mute. We do this to try and get a feel for what its like to have one of these “handicaps.” We will never really know what it feels like to live day in and day out in a world of silence. This is a world where the voice of the person standing in front of you isn’t heard, nor is the sound on the movie screen or the birds chirping in the early morning. This is unimaginable to most of us, but to millions around the world, this is normal, everyday life, and they’ve learned to overcome it. In Wired for Sound, Beverly Biderman leads us through her lifelong experience with being deaf, receiving a cochlear implant, and the effects of that on her life. She allows us to share her personal struggles and shows us at length how she dealt and is dealing with them. She offers many statistics to help educate us as well.
