Listen today as I interview Gretta. Gretta is my 16 year old daughter who has bilateral mild-profound mixed hearing loss. Gretta shares about going from wearing hearing aids at the age 5, to then one BAHA on a softband, and then 2 BAHAs on a softband, then 2 BAHAs on a soundarc. In 2019 she was bilateral implanted with Medel Bonebridges.

Gretta shares how that has changed her life, and also how she advocates for herself during High School.

If you are raising a child who's deaf or hard of hearing you are in the right place. I welcome you into our tribe.
