DEAFED: A Journey from hearing to deaf and finding Deaf

I am not hearing. I am not broken. I am DEAFED.In this raw, powerful, and unexpectedly funny memoir, Jenn Stoller takes readers on a deeply personal journey through the world of profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. But Deafed isn’t just about losing sound, it’s about gaining perspective, identity, and unexpected victories.Told with unflinching honesty and sharp humor, Deafed redefines what it means to live between worlds: not hearing, not culturally Deaf, but somewhere uniquely in between. From awkward run-ins with the public, law enforcement to silent Fourth of July celebrations and drive thru insanity, navigating college with interpreters, to the quiet comfort of blasting music at full volume, Jenn invites readers into a life reshaped by silence and reimagined through resilience.This book isn’t about grief, it’s about growth. This book is not inspiration, its deep rooted heart and soul. It’s for anyone who's ever felt out of place, mislabeled, or underestimated. Deafed is a testimony to strength, self-discovery, and the unexpected beauty that emerges when the noise fades and the truth gets louder. Read more
