Скачать или смотреть Hearing Parents: 3 Things Your Child With Hearing Loss Needs From You

If you’re a hearing parent raising a child with hearing loss, this video is for you.

My name is Emily, and I was born to hearing parents with a moderate to severe genetic hearing loss. In this video, I share three practical and compassionate ways hearing parents can support a child with hearing loss, based on my lived experience and what truly made a difference in my life.

We talk about:

Why working with the right professionals, especially pediatric audiologists, matters
The importance of giving children early access to sound and how it impacts brain and language development
How parents can support their child’s identity, confidence, and independence while navigating hearing aids, cochlear implants, or other hearing devices

This video is meant to encourage hearing parents who may feel guilt, fear, or uncertainty after a diagnosis. Your child can live a full, beautiful, successful life—and you are the right parent for them.

Whether your child was identified through a newborn hearing screening or diagnosed later, this video offers insight, reassurance, and real-world perspective from someone who grew up hard of hearing and is now a parent herself.

If you have questions or thoughts, feel free to share them in the comments. I’m rooting for you—you’ve got this.
