Growing up, Mandy Harvey knew she wanted to be a musician. But in 2006, when she was 18, her greatest fear came true: she lost her hearing as a result of a connective tissue disorder that deteriorated her nerves. She was dropped from the music program at her college, forcing her to completely re-evaluate her dreams and her life path, right at the beginning of her adult life. Now, Harvey is an accomplished musician who has released several albums, and she is performing tonight at the Musical Instrument Museum. She did the interview with The Show's Sarah Ventre by lip reading.
