"The interesting fact is that deaf people are so keen with their eyes, able to detect the slightest movement several yards away. Because they have little or none of the auditory sense, deaf people treat their eyes as the number one sense for communication, education, security, and even entertainment. Deaf people are extremely visual. They “hear” with their eyes. They read lips. They read sign language. They read facial and body languages. They read TTY’s. They read closed captions. They become alert to blinking lights of special devices. Deaf people are all eyes. That’s how I feel about myself; I don’t know what would happen if I lost my eyes. And, how on earth could Helen Keller get by?" In Bainy Cyrus's All Eyes, she tells about her life growing up in both the deaf and the hearing world. Bainy first attended Clarke School for the Deaf in Northampton, MA, where she learned to speak and struggled with language development. It was typical for a deaf child to cope with delayed English language in the 1960s and 1970s. After seven years at Clarke, Bainy began to face difficulties in regular school but eventually overcame obstacles in the hearing world, at times with humor. She also relates the importance of her lifelong friendships with two girls Cheryl and Diane she met at Clarke, and how the different paths that they took influenced her as an adult.

An interesting and enlightening memoir
By Maria Savva
An interesting memoir about a woman who was born with a level of deafness resulting from a virus her mother contracted whilst pregnant. Bainy B. Cyrus is the only hard of hearing member of a hearing family and consequently it took a few years before her deafness was diagnosed. She had to undergo many tests before the deafness was discovered and the type of deafness was identified.
This book does a lot to educate the reader about deafness, not only from the view of someone who is hard of hearing, but also because the author shows us through her writing some of the basic misconceptions about the condition. For example, it is sometimes assumed that because someone is deaf they would automatically know sign language, or they are able to lip read, or they can't talk, or their hearing aids can restore their hearing. All of these, and other assumptions are untrue.
Bainy B. Cyrus expresses well in her book that as she was growing up she wanted to be treated like everyone else, and not as someone with a disability. She also explains how hard it is for a deaf or hard of hearing child to learn to speak or understand language. She was sent to a school where deaf children were taught to lip read rather than use sign language, in the hope that they will be better able to integrate with the hearing community. Bainy found that she wanted to integrate more with the hearing community because she came from a hearing family, so after going to the deaf school, she then attended a hearing school and college where she made friends with hearing children, and was able to develop good relationships with them. In contrast, one of her closest friends from school went on to learn sign language and to spend most of her time with the deaf community. The book does well to show how each individual who suffers from deafness has many choices to make as to how they will deal with the condition, and it throws light on the prejudices that surround deaf/hard of hearing people in their daily lives.
Bainy highlights the important issue that it takes deaf children longer to learn right from wrong as they are not able to hear people talking about what is good and what is bad. The author relates her experiences of being taken advantage of because of her slower rate of social development.
The book also explains the difference between being profoundly deaf and being hard of hearing. Bainy is hard of hearing and states the case that sometimes this is harder for people to understand or deal with.
This would be a great book for parents of a deaf or hard of hearing child, as it gets into the mind of a person growing up with the condition, and explains how they feel. It would also be helpful to anyone involved in teaching or working with people who have any type of disability.
With this book, Bainy has shown that deafness, just like any disability, or in fact anything that makes someone a bit different from others, can have a profound effect of that person's upbringing and life.
The author is someone who struggled through her education and wanting to fit in, but she came out as a successful adult and now uses her experiences, through her work, to help others.

Highly Recommeded and Eye-Opening!
By Wilson R.
The struggles and achievements of a woman born deaf in the 1960's and her determination to fit into both the deaf and hearing worlds are the focus in All Eyes: A Memoir of Deafness by Bainy B. Cyrus.
Born in 1961 to delighted parents and three older brothers, Bainy Cyrus was a happy, healthy baby. However, by eighteen months, family members noticed she wasn't responding to loud noises or making normal baby babblings. Several trips to pediatricians were inconclusive with autism and aphasia suspected but not diagnosed. Finally, after months of hearing tests at John Hopkins Hospital, it was concluded that she had significant hearing loss. It was determined that oralism (speaking/lip reading) was the best approach to teach Bainy to speak. With a sound amplifying hearing-aid and repetitive training Bainy would learn to read lips and to, at last, talk. However, the only reputable oral school was Clarke School and it was 700 miles away in Massachusetts. Five-year-old Bainy was taken to Clarke where she would live while her parents would return home to Virginia. One can only imagine the traumatic experience of being left without family present at such a young age.
Clarke School for the deaf was a strict and old fashioned school established in 1867. Bainy made lasting friendships and, with the help of a special teacher, Miss Miller, began her life long journey to acceptance into the hearing world. Despite her limited vocabulary and misunderstanding of cliché and humor, Bainy would leave Clarke after seven years for regular public school as a 12-year-old in grade 3. Overcoming the difficulties of deafness, including the misconceptions of hearing classmates, would be an everyday challenge for Bainy at regular grade schools and into college. Later, she would be rejected by a deaf community who prefer sign language over oralism.
It is no wonder that All Eyes: A Memoir of Deafness is a well-reviewed, award-winning memoir. This is an eye-opening and at times heartbreaking look into a world with which many of us have little experience or knowledge. Bainy's early life was not easy by any means, however, the author does not ask for pity. Instead, she shows how life's problems can be overcome with humor, hard work, and a strong network of friends and family. This book shows the many misconceptions about deafness that existed in the 60's and those continuing to hamper hard-of-hearing and deaf people today. The book flows well and is clearly presented. Bainy B. Cyrus packs a great deal of private facts and hard found life lessons into these 126 pages. I highly recommend this always entertaining and often emotional story.

Great Perspective
By tg
I loved that this book explored the different sides of hearing loss (deaf/HOH) without being judgemental or bringing into it the often highly charged debate that goes on. She simply provided facts or experiences from her own life and those of her friends. It was a truly accurate picture of the challenges and triumphs a person with hearing lsos can experience. It was nice to seet hat their was not a sense of disatisfaction with choice that were made for her growing up, both by her parents and in the schools she attended. My daughter has a hearing loss and it was very beneficial to read from the perspective of an older child and how she viewed the world and waht was going on.
She has done an excellent job of not only dispelling myths about hearing loss nad deafness but also in weaving her own stories in with factual information to produce an interesting read. The author found a way to tell her story and touch the hearts of her readers without portraying a need to pity or look down on her. She clearly showed how she triumphed over the adversity she encountered and how it formed her as a person. She did an excellent job at sharing factual information for those unaware of some of the greater intriciaces of the deaf/HOH world.
A great read for a parent of a HOH child/adult or anyone who works with children or adults with heairng loss.
Thanks for the insight into your life.
