One doctor's quest to advance a humanitarian mission to address global deafness through education, charitable missions, political activism, and creative innovation. In every epic tale, a hero emerges to confront the naysayers and the villain. While this story concerns real-world events, it is no less a hero's journey. After a fortuitous meeting in Los Angeles, Dr. Chip Goldsmith embarked on a quest to further his lifelong passion to help the hearing impaired. His crusade alongside renowned innovators and contributors in the field was not an easy one. But such is the case in a playing field that often pits a collaborative humanitarian vision against the profiteering and collusive forces of materialism, greed, and paradigm bias. In The Gift to Heal for the World to Hear, Goldsmith chronicles his efforts to provide affordable hearing solutions, from hearing aids to cochlear implants, through innovation, education, capital enterprise, charitable missions, and political lobbying. While pursuing his mission, he crossed paths with many others who faced similar challenges. Uniting forces, they battled the plutocratic sludge that impeded more affordable innovation for the greater good. Goldsmith's memoir is a story of creativity, courage, and persistence, as he and other warriors persevered through setbacks to score victories for the hearing impaired. Throughout his journey, Goldsmith experienced uncanny chance meetings, introducing him to key players who helped advance the cause. And from these meaningful coincidences that fell together in time, he reached a spiritual dimension. Having otherwise struggled with traditional religious motifs, Goldsmith was intrigued by the profound synchronicities and the mysterious connecting force that found, united, and propelled a group of like-minded individuals into the headwinds of the established paradigm. A fascinating read for neurotologists, ENTs, audiologists, licensed hearing professionals, speech and language professionals, and anyone who is deaf or has deafness in their family, this book is a testament to the challenges associated with creativity and innovation, and it ultimately illustrates the power of collective purpose and explores profound questions regarding spirituality and the meaning of life.
