Volume Control

I first heard about “Volume Control” on NPR's “Fresh Air.” It was one of my 15 pandemic checkouts in mid-March that took me a month a half to read because my brain just didn't want to read, oddly.

The book is easy to read and provides lots of interesting information, as well as reminding all of us that one rarely regains hearing after it is lost despite scientific advances. It also goes into developmental challenges children run into if their hearing loss isn't diagnosed at a very early age, as well as how the brain learns to get around hearing.
