Mia B's Story

On the 4th of July 2014, our beautiful little girl Mia was born. It was a very bittersweet day and a complete blur. I was overwhelmed with so much love for our first born. Not only that but I was also anxious to find out whether our little girl would have a hearing loss due to my history. I was born with profound hearing loss and was informed during my pregnancy that there is a fifty percent chance that our child would have a hearing loss too.
