Silent Courage: An Introvert's Authentic Journey with Hearing Loss

This is the book that started it all.

Silent Courage is more than a memoir — it’s a quiet revolution for those who live in the tension between silence and connection. With honesty, insight, and gentle strength, this book explores what it means to move through the world as both an introvert and a person with hearing loss.

Inside, you’ll find stories of frustration and humour, grief and resilience — and the quiet power of showing up exactly as you are.

Whether you’ve experienced hearing loss yourself or care about someone who has, this book offers a deeper understanding of what it means to listen, belong, and be heard.
