Parent Information

Dear Parents,

Every expectant parent plans on a healthy, typically developing child and begins building hopes, expectations, and dreams for their new baby. These dreams can be altered when a child is diagnosed with a hearing loss.  Many parents have suggested the diagnosis of their child's hearing loss initiated a mourning process, as well as a new sense of responsibility.  With the realization of your child's hearing loss comes the responsibility to gather information, make decisions, and help your baby to grow to his or her fullest potential.

We understand the dedication, time commitments, and variety of feelings that may come with this responsibility.  We hope that this resource will help guide you and your family during this emotional and busy time as well as in the years to come. Even though you may not be ready to use it all right away, it is here for you when you are. New dreams are possible!

With Sincere Support,
