In the realm of human perception, hearing holds a profound significance. It connects us to the world around us, allowing us to engage with others, appreciate music, and navigate our surroundings.

For neuroscientist Susan Shore, hearing was an integral part of her life's work. As a professor at New York University, she dedicated her career to studying the auditory system and unraveling the mysteries of how we hear.

However, fate took an unexpected turn when Susan experienced a sudden and profound hearing loss. This life-altering event shattered her world and forced her to confront the fragility of her senses.

In her memoir, When the Brain Can Hear, Susan chronicles her extraordinary journey from losing her hearing to rediscovering the power of sound. With her characteristic scientific rigor and unwavering determination, she embarked on a mission to understand how her brain would adapt and find new ways to hear.

Through a series of immersive and often surprising experiences, Susan uncovers the remarkable plasticity of the human brain. She learns to decipher sounds through bone conduction, harness her sense of touch to perceive music, and even master lip-reading to engage in conversations.

Along the way, Susan's memoir becomes a poignant exploration of the nature of perception, the challenges of disability, and the resilience of the human spirit. She shares her insights into the latest advancements in neuroscience and auditory science, highlighting the extraordinary capacity of the brain to overcome adversity.

When the Brain Can Hear is not merely a memoir of hearing loss. It is a testament to the power of the human mind to adapt, learn, and find new paths to understanding the world.

Susan Shore's journey is an inspiration to anyone facing challenges, whether they be physical, mental, or emotional. It is a reminder that even in the face of adversity, the human spirit can triumph and find new ways to thrive.
