Can Bears Ski? by Raymond Antrobus
From Kirkus: "Gently and thoughtfully teaches about being a hard-of-hearing kid."
Boy Bear notices that he has trouble hearing in school and at home. All the while, people keep asking him the question "Can bears ski?" and he has no idea what it means! He is taken to the audiologist and gets hearing aids and figures out that this whole time, people have been asking him, "Can you hear me"!
