TL;DR: As a parent, imagine finding yourself—at one moment—enjoying the birth of your infant son, who seems perfect in every way; then, suddenly, you face some unexpected information—he has failed his newborn hearing screening.
Abstract: As a parent, imagine finding yourself—at one moment—enjoying the birth of your infant son. He seems perfect in every way with beautiful blond hair and piercing blue eyes. Then, suddenly, you face some unexpected information—he has failed his newborn hearing screening. While concerned, you assure yourself that it must be a mistake or perhaps there’s fluid in his ears. It can’t be the alternative. Subsequent testing with a pediatric audiologist confirms the worst—bilateral severe to profound deafness. Suddenly, your world is spinning in a direction that no one predicted or anticipated. A million questions rush through your mind. How will your new son communicate? Where will he go to school? Can he still play baseball? Will he go to college? Will he be happy?
