Oliver Faulstich lost his hearing at 15 after a rare bout of meningitis, and this DW Documentary film follows him as an adult living between the deaf and hearing worlds. Cochlear implants and years of auditory training let him hold a job, raise a family, and function in a hearing environment, but the film does not gloss over the cost: he describes the mental exhaustion of constantly decoding sound and language that comes less naturally to him than to those born hearing. Interviews with Faulstich and scenes from his daily routine show the practical adjustments he has built, from communication strategies at home to the way he manages noisy or crowded settings. He now advocates for others navigating the same in-between space, sharing his experience with people newly facing hearing loss. The film stays close to one person's account rather than offering a broad survey of deafness or cochlear technology, giving a grounded look at what adapting to sudden hearing loss actually requires day to day.
