Hearing loss

Baby failed her newborn hearing tests and did ERA/SSEP. Results showed moderate to severe hearing loss and will be needing hearing aid. Feeling really anxious and devastated. Any mummies have the same experience?

I'm so sorry you're going through this, mama. I don't have personal experience with this myself, but I know this must feel really overwhelming right now, and it's completely okay to feel the way you do. The good news is that early detection means your baby can get support early, and hearing aids these days are so much better than before. I'd really encourage you to lean on your PD or the audiologist at KKH for guidance on next steps and maybe connect with parent support groups focused on hearing loss, because there are mums out there who've walked this path and can share what they've learned. You're doing the right thing by seeking answers, and your baby is lucky to have a mum who cares this much.
