My daughter, my hero

My daughter, my hero

My daughter was born with a hearing anomaly, so she has a lot of trouble carrying on casual conversations. When she was younger, it was a major source of stress for my family, but since then we've found a number of great hearing solutions that are helping her live a normal life. I still like to do periodic research at http://hearingaids.miracle-ear.com/hearing-locations/california/c/camarillo/ to see if there are any new technologies out that we should take advantage of, but in general, she's really happy with her traditional hearing aid. My advice to other parents in this situation is to take your child to a doctor to rule out any medical complications then make an appointment for a free hearing test. You got nothing to lose and there are so many high-tech solutions out there it's a shame to let your child go through life hearing impaired. Her friends have been really accepting and we spoke to her teacher about exactly what to say if she ever gets made fun of… Knock on wood, but that still hasn't happened yet! My kids are the most important thing in the world to me and when they are happy, I'm happy. My daughter’s the happiest she's ever been, which makes me feel like I'm doing a good job as a mom!
