Fiona Bollag, who came from a world of silence

Fiona Bollag came into this world unable to hear, had to lip-read every word, had no idea what music sounded like. Then, at the age of 16, thanks to modern medicine, she was given a newly developed implant – and suddenly Fiona was living in a completely different world. Her book tells the story of a young, lively woman whose life testifies to the fact that hearing is a gift – but also that the years of silence were a gift. Because they prepared her to take on the world with all her senses! An emotional book, not only for over 300,000 deaf humans in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
