Deafness arrived slowly, and Herbert Collingwood decided to map the country it exiled him to. His memoir describes the road into silence: terrors that turn out imaginary, head noises and subjective audition, the hard social moments, and the compensations he learned to claim. Written with a working editor's plain warmth. An honest companion for anyone facing hearing loss.
