Volume Control: Hearing in a Deafening World by David Owen
3.0
Yes, once in a while I do read non-fiction. In this case, it's all about hearing. The causes of hearing loss, some helps for hearing loss, the ways people cope, the medical research, and so forth. All things hearing. It's a fairly extensive coverage of the topic of hearing.
The one big problem, I think is that there are no damn pictures! So we get extensive attempts to tell us in words about the physiological structures that enable us to hear, and the ways people try to mitigate hearing loss, both by gadgets, like hearing aids (what I'm doing), and by surgical means, like cochlear implants.
Well, ya know? A couple of pictures would really, really have helped me better to envision what's going on. Yes, I can Google it all, but why read the book then? I'm a bit disappointed in it all. Hence, I took a half * off the score because of the lack of pictures.
