Hearing technology has come a long way from Rosa’s first speech processor almost two decades ago, which Rosa recalls was the size of a piece of bread and she wore it in small embroidered backpacks made lovingly by her mum. Fast forward to the present day, and Rosa’s current speech processors are small and light, sitting neatly under her hair.

“Having been given the opportunity to  learn how to hear, listen and speak from a very young age has allowed me to attend mainstream school and lead a strong and independent lifestyle,” said Rosa.

“Through learning speech and communication skills I can speak clearly  and interact confidently in social situation, particularly with my friends as most of them have typical hearing. I am forever grateful for all the help I have received from Hear and Say as a child and now into my young adult life.”
