About This Book
What if hearing loss didn’t mean you couldn’t learn to speak and understand the world around you? Thanks to amazing technology like cochlear implants and early hearing tests, many kids are growing up just like their friends who hear perfectly. This story shows how new science is changing everything we thought we knew about hearing and learning—and why it matters to every kid’s future.
