Silence is still my favorite sound...

Austin Chapman was born profoundly deaf. But earlier this month, that changed when Chapman got new hearing aids. 

"Being able to hear the music for the first time ever was unreal. When Mozart's Lacrimosa came on, I was blown away by the beauty of it. At one point of the song, it sounded like angels singing and I suddenly realized that this was the first time I was able to appreciate music. Tears rolled down my face and I tried to hide it. But when I looked over I saw that there wasn't a dry eye in the car. But silence is still my favorite sound," he writes. "When I turn my aids off my thoughts become more clear and it's absolutely peaceful."
