Review of Learning to Hear


This is an interesting story for me, having some hearing loss. I also have a young girl living in my house who is deaf. As the world of the deaf is revealed to me, I have found the Cochlear Implant question is controversial. Through this piece, I understand much more about the topic.

This piece hit on that controversy at the end, how the deaf community cherishes their language and cohesiveness. It is also packed with information about "learning to hear" after the implant and about how deaf people who come to hear have to grasp their newfound situation. This piece is well-written and produced. This is a good all-around informational piece for everyone.
