Product Description:

Becoming an adult in the eyes of society can be difficult. It can become even more difficult when you add a disability. Hearing loss is often misrepresented as an issue of aging, however hearing loss affects a significant number of children and young adults. In most cases, hearing loss is permanent and will require adaptation throughout their life span. For this reason, accommodations, special resources and considerations should be made and given to those who need them.
