"Recently, my family (my husband, myself, two boys age 5.5 and 2.5) moved to Texas from the East Coast. Finding the HearSay group has been monumental to our move as we have found not only a resource and support group for families of children with hearing impairments, but we have made friendships and continue to do so with the educational events and the family fun events that HearSay offers. As a busy mom of two young boys, I am personally grateful to HearSay for keeping me informed on the latest information, research and concerns that I may not otherwise be privy to. I am happy to be a member of such a warm and informative group!"

"Probably the most important aspect of HearSay for our family has been the opportunity to network with other parents and professionals in an informal setting. A "chance" conversation with one of the graduate students at the Christmas Carnival has really influenced our decision about having our son, Andrew, receive a second (bilateral) cochlear implant. It always seems like there is someone there with just the experience we need to help us with the decisions and choices we're making."

"HearSay has been a gift to my family’s life. Not only has it connected us to families who have experienced our same journey of raising a hearing-impaired child, but it also has provided us with a wealth of cutting edge information about how to raise a hearing-impaired child in a hearing and speaking world, the goal of all the HearSay families. HearSay has given us hope and comfort through family get-togethers, speakers, and workshops. Because our child wears hearing aids and many of the children in HearSay have cochlear implants, we particularly benefit from the knowledge and input those families give us since our child may have an implant someday. We are very grateful for HearSay."
