YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Matt Hay grew up with a medical condition that eventually diminished his ability to hear. But in the process of going deaf, he memorized his favorite songs, fell in love and started a family. In today's episode, Hay speaks with NPR's Mary Louise Kelly about his new memoir, Soundtrack of Silence, and how – nearly two decades later – music has been able to help him do something doctors said was impossible: partially recover his hearing.
