Melissa

She hears birds chirping. She has a new love – music. I get chill bumps when I see her singing a song she’s listening to.

At age 15 months, Melissa became ill with meningitis. Soon after, she was diagnosed with profound hearing loss. Hearing aids enabled her to hear sounds, but she could not understand words.
