Listen today as Listen as Dr. Hu and I discuss why over-the-counter hearing aids aren't appropriate for children and why a child should see a pediatric audiologist.
Dr. Michelle Hu realized that as her pediatric audiology patients started growing up and having children of their own they had a different set of questions than when they were her patients, so she decided to create an Instagram account called mama hu hears.
She’s also created an online program for parents of children who are deaf and hard of hearing. Not to tell parents what to do, but to offer all of the resources, information, different modes of communication, languages to have access to and healthcare specialists to get in touch with, and give them all of the ingredients so that they can make the best choices for their hearing journey with their family.
