Frustrated with his inability to conform to mainstream American life, Josh Swiller, who was born with moderate hearing loss, escaped to the far-removed African village of Mununga. In the midst of extreme violence, disease and poverty, Swiller's deafness became insignificant as he and other Peace Corps volunteers battled to save and change lives. Swiller, who partially recovered his hearing through a cochlear implant in 2005, will be reading from his book, "The Unheard: A Memoir of Deafness and Africa," tonight, as well as discussing his life-altering experiences.
