This Feels So Overwhelming! Am I Normal?

YES! The diagnosis of hearing loss is often a shock and may bring with it many difficult feelings. Parents often receive conflicting information from different professionals when a baby’s hearing loss is diagnosed. Sometimes parents are given several different diagnoses before the hearing loss is even confirmed. Once a diagnosis is made, parents start learning about the many communication approaches available, about amplification options and cochlear implants, and about services and educational programs.

It may feel overwhelming at times!
