In this work Paula Pfeifer tells us what it was like to lose her hearing progressively during childhood, until she became profoundly deaf at the age of 31 years old and then decided to have a cochlear implant which enabled her to hear again. Full of highs and lows, her journey towards sound is described in a sincere and heartfelt manner. From the preliminary tests prior to surgery through to the cochlear implant activation and months of adaptation to her new life, Paula builds a compelling account that captivates both people with hearing loss and those who interact with them. Paula describes the process of making her decision to have a cochlear implant: ''this book tells the journey of a person who was born hearing and became deaf, a journey that is very different from someone who was born without hearing and did not know any sound. I say that because I am aware of the philosophical discussions surrounding deafness. However, I am not interested in these theories and philosophies: I opted for sound''.
