The Confrontation

Hunch and Audie go on a musical adventure and learn that hearing is a spectrum. Audie is in awe of how much – even as an ear – she still has to learn about what it means to be deaf and hard of hearing. LeVar learns something new, too, and wants to add a new exhibit to the museum.
