Lydia Denworth: I Can Hear You Whisper

An investigation into the science of hearing, child language acquisition, neuroplasticity, brain development, and Deaf culture spurred by Lydia Denworth’s discovery that her son couldn’t hear her lullabies and the family’s life-altering decision to give him a cochlear implant.

Denworth is a former Newsweek journalist and People London bureau chief, but her topic wasn’t a reportorial assignment: When her toddler was 2, he was diagnosed with profound and progressive hearing loss. I Can Hear You Whisper interweaves her personal story as a loving mother with a detailed, yet accessible account of the evolving science of hearing and the development of cochlear implants. A “memoir plus” with major crossover potential.
