Our beautiful baby girl, Rielyn is now 18 months old and at about 9 months was diagnosed with bilateral profound hearing loss; that later was determined congenital. This means, she was born deaf and it was missed at her infant screening. Her hearing aids are not working for her so we have no other option to give her the best life possible and go ahead with cochlear implants. It is a very serious surgery…but she will hear!!!!
