When Katherine Bouton was 30 years old she suddenly lost the hearing in her left ear. and she suddenly found herself among the 48 million Americans, or 17 percent of the population, who have some degree of hearing loss.  In her new book, Shouting Won't Help: Why, I, and 50 Million Other Americans, Can't Hear You, Bouton chronicles in perspective her own difficult journey from getting diagnosed and fighting with insurance companies to dealing with the psychological effects of her disease.  Poignant and enlightening, this inspiring narrative is totally relatable to those who are facing hearing loss and the people who love them.
