Paul Taylor and his wife Sally Taylor were in their 60s when they both decided to have cochlear implant surgery, which could permit them to hear for the first time.[2] The documentary follows what turns out to be a complicated journey from the comfortable world of silence to a profoundly challenging world of sounds and language.[3] The documentary introduces the couple's personal histories – childhood years learning to communicate in a special school, experiencing the stigma surrounding deafness in mainstream high schools, and having meaningful careers in the Deaf community at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf. Paul was a pioneer in development of TDD (telecommunications device for the deaf) which is also known as TTY.[2] The couple's filmmaker daughter chronicled these surgeries and the aftermath. The film show some of the short-term consequences, including both expected and unexpected adjustments each would need to make. These two deaf people investigate the sounds and meaning of sounds; but learning what not to hear becomes an equally significant challenge. The camera records quite different reactions as the couple struggles to adjust after living deaf for a lifetime.[2] The effects of the surgeries are not entirely positive.[4] The film establishes cochlear implant surgery in an intimate family setting rather than the larger context of the Deaf community.[5] ProductionThis documentary was co-produced by Vermillion Films and HBO Documentary Films, which reduced the financial risks inherent in the project; and the film was distributed by HBO.[6] Film festivalsIn 2007, Hear and Now won the prize for the Best Documentary at the Heartland Film Festival.[7] At the Sundance Film Festival, the documentary won the Audience Award;[8] and it was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize.
