Onna's story

Onna, was born prematurely at 28 weeks, alongside her typically hearing twin sister, Sala. Onna passed her newborn screening. However, by about 10 months old, she had progressively but quickly lost all her hearing. Onna’s hearing loss was initially misdiagnosed but she was finally diagnosed with severe-profound hearing loss and Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder. She received bilateral cochlear implants a month before her third birthday and started the Auditory Verbal UK a few months later.
