BET:

What happens when you lose something you thought you'd always have?

What happens when the thing you lose is one of your senses? 

My name is Bet Kline, and...I'm deaf. That wasn't the case a year ago.

Now my life has been upended, I have to figure out how to carve out a new path for myself and navigate my way down it.

Easier said than done.

Seen and Not Heard, an audio drama about hearing loss and deaf gain, is available wherever you find your podcasts.
