    Ep 4. What People with Noise Sensitivity may Hear

    The crackling, as I like to call it, is a noise that goes off in my ear whenever I encounter certain pitches of sound. The crackling is better explained as noise sensitivity and it can go off any moment. Noise sensitivity can play a major roll in what a person hears on a daily basis. Deafness or unilateral deafness can be one of the only things others see when it comes to hearing. Although, what people may not know is that there could potentially be more than just deafness going on with someone's hearing.  In this podcast, learn what noise sensitivity may sound like and how it can have an effect on a person's daily life.  Instagram: www.instagram.com/aylistening Webslite: www.AYListening.com Facebook: www.Facebook.com/aylistening

    Ep 3. What to Say to a Child Who is Different

    When a child is born with something that is different from other people, it can be hard to know what to say to the child as he/she gets older. Setting a child up for success when they have something different about them can ultimately be a game changer. On this week's episode, let's talk about what to say to a child who is has something different about them.  What kind of differences are we talking about? For me, I have an ear that does not look like everyone else's. For other kids/people, it can be anything that is different from the general population. Building a child up and giving them the tools to navigate tricky situations and feel confident in who they are can ultimately be a game changer to propel them forward in life. Are You Listening?

    Ep 2. Should you get Ear Reconstruction Surgery for your Microta Affected Ear?

    This episode is all about if you should consider getting ear reconstruction surgery for your microtia affected ear. There are major benefits to reconstruction surgery but how do you know if the surgery is right for you and your situation? On this episode I talk about my experience and why I decided to not get the surgery and how to know if its right for you.  If you or your child has a microtia ear, ear reconstruction is a delicate topic that takes serious consideration and asking yourself the right questions. Finding the confidence in whatever you decide is crucial to success, surgery or no surgery.  Read the article here: www.aylistening.com/should-you-get-ear-reconstruction-for-a-microtia-ear?
