Bouncing from appointment to appointment in the early days, Lani recalled trying to come to grips with a diagnosis of hearing loss that at first turned their lives upside down.
“Eden was only five weeks old when we saw the hospital audiologist and found out she had a hearing loss. I was fearful, and devastated to think that she may never hear my voice,” said Lani.
“Getting diagnosed is a very open-ended process, which kept us hopeful but also made us feel overwhelmed. Our family asked us questions like, ‘What does this mean? What treatment is available?’, and we just couldn’t answer them,” added Liam.
“We wanted to give Eden the same options as any kid gets, and have everything available to her. It was then incredibly comforting to come to Hear and Say and know they would be there every step of the way. There was a clear pathway ahead for her to be able to hear and speak.”
