About the Author
"In a profound exploration of sound and society, this book challenges our conventional understanding of sound and its interplay with deafness. Dissecting age-old misconceptions perpetuated by pop culture and society, the narrative insists that Deaf bodies are sound bodies. They experience the full spectrum of sound, albeit differently, and remind us of the multi-sensory marvel that is the human experience. A must-read for anyone seeking to broaden their understanding of sound, culture, and human connectivity."
