At Hear Indiana, we believe that even one child without language (whether visual or spoken), is one child too many. Hearing loss is a neuro-developmental emergency. Without access to sound or a visual language at the earliest possible moment, a child with hearing loss will quickly fall behind. Every year, hundreds of Indiana children are diagnosed with hearing loss; the vast majority of families choose Listening and Spoken Language for their children. Hear Indiana seeks to create equal opportunities for children experiencing hearing loss. Many people today aren’t aware of what is possible for today’s deaf child with the appropriate technology and intervention. We envision a day when all deaf and hard of hearing children will achieve their aspirations and thrive in their communities.
