Have you ever struggled to hear? Have you ever watched someone you love struggle to hear? It’s a very frustrating problem. When Johnny, my first born, was little he got constant ear infections. So many that we found out he actually damaged his ear drum resulting in minor damage. Finding out your child is going to struggle with any kind of impairment is difficult and luckily for us we have an amazing school locally that put him through testing and helped us stop the damage and find ways to help him.
Sadly, not all parents have the resources we did. Hear the World Foundation support families by helping children reach their development milestones and realize their full potential in life regardless of hearing loss.

What: Our sense of hearing can play a critical role in education, particularly when we are young. Real and meaningful education happens when kids are truly engaged, and that engagement is only possible when kids can hear and understand the teacher. I’m working with The Motherhood to share insights about the potential impact of hearing loss on children’s education, and how to help these kids engage at school, during this Twitter party with the Hear the World Foundation.

When: Wednesday, Feb. 26, at noon ET (11a CT / 9a PT)

Where: We’ll be on Twitter – follow the #HearTheWorld hashtag to track the conversation. You can see more details and RSVP using the Twtvite: http://twtvite.com/heartheworld3

Hashtag: #HearTheWorld

Prizes: We will randomly award five prizes throughoutthe party, from all eligible correct response to trivia questions. Each prize is a $25 Amazon gift card. (No purchase necessary. Entrants must be legal residents of the 50 United States + D.C. 18 years of age or older. Void where prohibited.)

    We have a deaf ministry at church headed by a woman who works in schools with deaf and hearing-impaired children. So important to spread awareness.

    It’s too easy for children to get left behind in education, so it’s important that adults recognize what each child needs to thrive. Hearing loss would have a tremendous impact on a child’s education if it was not properly recognized. So great that you are spreading the word!

    What a great twitter party! My son was premature,and I was nervous for his hearing. I’m glad to say he’s ok, (except when he’s just ignoring me) but I’m glad there are all these ways to help prevent hearing loss! I’m going to try and make it

    This is so important. Due to my daughter’s issues her hearing has been tested plenty of times, but many kids who seem to be typically developing are actually struggling, over something easily fixed.

    Such a great program! Sort of off topic but I actually worked on the design of Phonak’s US headquarters in Illinois. You can see it here: mcshane-construction.com/whatwebuild.aspx?id=193 🙂

    We are dealing with hearing concerns with my 6 year old right now. The school, audiologists and doctors have been such a huge help in explaining things to us and helping us to know what to look for.
