In October of 2011, our lives were changed in a big way. That month, Austin was born five weeks early. He spent 5 days in the NICU, and just before he was released from the hospital, he failed his newborn hearing screening. Since then, Austin has gone through many test procedures and the doctors and audiologists have determined that he is a candidate for cochlear implant surgery. As parents, we feel that cochlear implants are the best possible option for Austin and our family. On this blog, we will post as much information as possible to help those around us understand cochlear implants and the role that they will play in our family.
