Rejected titles for "Life After Deaf"

Anyone who has read my memoir about losing and partially recovering my hearing knows that I’ve never met a pun I didn’t like.

What I neglected to mention in the book is that “Life After Deaf” wasn’t the only title I considered. With my wife, Marty Winkler, and my agent, Eric Myers, as sounding boards, I tossed out a stream of titles, looking for something catchy but not too outrageous or obscure.

So here, now, finally, is the list.

Deaf in the Afternoon

Deaf and Taxes

Deaf Race 2000

Matters of Life and Deaf

Diary of the Plagued Ears

Mega Deaf

Deaf Threat

Deaf Be Not Proud

Deaf Valley Days

Til Deaf Do Us Part

Deaf March

The Walking Deaf

DEAFCON 1

The Best Ears of Our Lives

What do you think? Did I choose correctly? Got any better ideas?
