520    "As a child, Matt Hay didn't know his hearing wasn't the 
       way everyone else processed sound-and like a lot of kids 
       who do workarounds to fit in, even the school nurse didn't
       catch his condition at the annual hearing and vision 
       checks. But as a prospective college student who couldn't 
       pass the entrance requirements for West Point, Hay's 
       condition, generated by a tumor, was unavoidable: his 
       hearing was going, and fast. Soundtrack of Silence was his
       determined compensation for his condition: a typical 
       Midwestern kid growing up in the 1980s, whose life events 
       were pegged to pop music, Hay planned to commit his 
       favorite songs to memory, a mental playbook not only of 
       the bands he loved, but a way to tap his most resonant 
       memories. And the track he needed to cement most clearly? 
       The one he and his new girlfriend Nora-the love of his 
       life-listened to in the car on their first date. Made 
       vivid with references to instantly recognizable songs-from
       The Eagles to Elton John, Bob Marley to Bing Crosby, U2 to
       Peter Frampton-Soundtrack of Silence asks readers to run 
       the soundtrack of their own lives through their minds. And,
       like much of the music it invokes, it's in the end a happy
       story: Hay does marry the girl of his dreams, complex and 
       cutting-edge surgeries allow him via implant and linked 
       external devices to partially hear, and he's able to share
       lullaby time with his and Nora's children"--|cProvided by
