- Summary
- COI synopsis: The piercing shrill of a kettle, the jangle of keys in the lock, the shattering of broken glass: some people just cannot hear them. But work at London University has led to the development of a hearing aid which can electronically juggle patterns of certain sounds, and bring them within the hearing range of people who suffer high frequency deafness. Suddenly they’re introduced to a new world.
