Hear This! A Twisted Tale of Sonic Torment
Summer 2026
In this funny and candid genre-bending memoir, New Orleans rocker Jon Hébert goes from blasting his amp to living with constant ear noise and pain. As he struggles to finish his first album, he battles isolation, psychological torment, and a broken healthcare system while turning to the most un-rock-and-roll treatment ever: mindfulness meditation.
Hear This! A Twisted Tale of Sonic Torment is a bitingly funny yet emotionally resonant exploration of chronic pain, resilience, and learning to create through the impossible, offering hope and recognition to those living with tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and hyperacusis (painful sound sensitivity).
