The Hear the World Foundation supports children with hearing loss in low- and middle-income countries and is founded on the belief that all children deserve the chance to hear well and live life to its full potential. Adams began collaborating with the foundation in 2007; now, out of a shared commitment to honoring the importance of hearing, their joint vision has blossomed into this book.
