An Intimate Journey Through the Science of Sound and Language
Lydia Denworth's third son, Alex, was nearly two when he was identified with significant hearing loss that was likely to get worse.

How would he communicate? Would he learn to read and write?

I Can Hear You Whisper chronicles Denworth's search for answers-and her new understanding of Deaf culture and the exquisite relationship between sound, language, and learning.[Lydia Denworth; 400 pages; (2015) soft cover]
