High fit

Restart shows Lauren Karch's ability to pause, reflect, and begin again with intention after receiving her hearing loss diagnosis. Instead of spiraling into despair about her uncertain medical future, Lauren deliberately restarted her approach to living with potential deafness. She moved from passive worry to active curation, creating a hearing bucket list and systematically attending concerts, plays, and events. This represents a complete restart of how she related to her remaining hearing - treating each sound as precious rather than taking any of it for granted.
