Hearing Blind is a story about the meeting of two people, Cleo Archer, and Osial Nash.
Cleo was a quiet girl that no one ever talked to or attempted to approach, only because she wouldn't talk to them herself. This was because she was mute. A mute child who went through countless hardships that she had to find ways to get over herself.
Meanwhile in the same time, a boy 2 years older than her, Osial Nash, was going through similar problems. He was deaf and didn't really have many friends since, well, they never took the time to learn sign language to talk to him. They always thought it was useless, thought it was stupid.
2 months after their graduation, they meet again at a convenience store not too far from Cleos house. Scared to talk to the man in front of her, she brushes it off and steps aside, and trips over one of the items that fell of of the shelf. Thinking he didn't notice, but catches her swiftly, which brings them into their first close contact with each other.
