Many books have been written about deafness and hearing loss. About.com Deafness has reviewed a few of them. There are many good books out there; if you recommend a book I will try to get a copy and review it. Books are listed in alphabetical order.

One of the few children's books on deafness reviewed by About.com Deafness. ( I enjoy children's books and will gladly review more if you have any recommendations). Although it is a children's book, adults will find much about it to appreciate.
10. Deaf Like Me
