Penelope’s family was prepared in every way they could be for her birth. What they weren’t prepared for was when she was diagnosed as deaf in both ears. After a failed newborn hearing screening and later a failed auditory brain response test, they sought out options to help Penelope hear the sounds of the world. They discovered cochlear implants and now she is bilingual and participating in listening and spoken language therapy.
