Not alone

Thank you so much for this Podcast. We are 5 months into our hearing loss diagnosis, and this was one of the first things I listened to and it brought me so much comfort. Cooper is doing great and will be getting implants around his first birthday!

So encouraging

As a parent of a 7 month old just starting our hearing loss journey, this podcast was very encouraging! Just knowing other people have felt and thought the same things I am right now makes it easier. It also gives me hope for what’s to come for my little man!
