Bethany's Story
I was a bright and happy baby, always aware of what was going on around me. One day, my mum looked into my room to see if I was awake, saw I was and said 'Bethany'. I didn't respond, so she said it again, louder. Still no response. She tried again and again! I didn't respond. She knew then that there was something wrong.
Bob's Story
Without a genetic footprint of hearing loss in his family, Bob never gave his hearing a thought. In his youth he was exposed to the loud noise of the army and this left him with a legacy of deteriorating hearing.
Felix's Story
Felix's hearing loss was diagnosed at just one day old thanks to the early screening hearing program which is run in most hospitals.
