Praise for HEARING HAPPINESS

“…informative and engaging…” – Ms Magazine

“Told with clarity and compassion, Virdi’s moving story will resonate with any reader seeking to understand what it truly is like to be deaf in the US.” –Cäsar Jacobson, activist, author, and actor

“Hearing Happiness provides so much surprising and interesting historical information, as well as many answers about audism, the history of technology, and our perception of hearing loss. Virdi’s personal story is moving, and her research takes us on all kinds of trips back in time. Fascinating.” –Ilya Kaminsky, author of 2019 National Book Award finalist Deaf Republic
