About this book
Arlene Romoff began losing her hearing during her college years. It continued to decline gradually until, almost thirty years later, she was left profoundly deaf. When hearing aids no longer worked for her, she elected to get a cochlear implant, a computerized device that stimulates the auditory nerve directly. For the next year, Arlene shared her experiences, via email, with family, friends and colleagues. These postings are brought together in this book, a fascinating chronicle of what life was like without hearing, and her return to the world of sound with this miraculous device.
