John Cotter was thirty when he first began to notice a ringing in his ears. Next came partial deafness, then dizziness and vertigo that rendered him unable to walk, work, sleep, or even communicate. A devastating memoir that sheds urgent, bracingly honest light on both the taboos surrounding disability and the limits of medical science. Losing Music is refreshingly vulnerable and singularly illuminating—a story that will make readers see their own lives anew.

John Cotter currently lives in Providence, Rhode Island.
