VICTORIA'S STORY

It was a frightening time in Karen's life. Her baby, Victoria, was born premature at 32 weeks with many potentially life-threatening health issues. 

One issue caused irreversible damage to the nerves in Victoria's ears. But because there was such an intense focus on keeping Victoria healthy, her hearing loss wasn't identified until she started school. 

Three pictures of woman with flowers and in her graduation gown "We learned Victoria had profound hearing loss in both ears," Karen recalls. "I was concerned about her future and what limitations this would put on her. I was worried for her being accepted by friends, and not bullied." 

Karen turned to Canadian Hearing Services and she's so glad she did. You see, this is where Victoria got her hearing aids. And it's where Karen learned about other products and services that would give her daughter a better quality of life.  

"The kindness I was shown at Canadian Hearing Services was amazing. They made me feel empowered to help assist Victoria without having her feel like she had a disability," Karen says.  

"Canadian Hearing Services helped Victoria understand and believe that she can achieve any goal she sets out to achieve," says Karen. "Thanks to them we have everything available to us to assist Victoria in achieving her dreams."
