In May of 2011, I helped organize and advertise a hearing aid event at Children’s Hospital Colorado as a member of the Parent Advisory Council that I am a part of for Children’s Hospital Colorado. I asked Ally’s audiologist, Dr. Sanya Richardson, to speak at our event and help educate us on the types of hearing loss, hearing loss technology and what’s new for improved hearing. It was an educational session that was open to the public. I also briefly spoke about Microtia and Atresia at this event and offered some helpful tips on BAHAs along with passing Ally’s bone conductive soft band head band processors around from Sophono, Oticon Medical, and Cochlear. I also told everyone about our 1st Annual Summer Picnic that I would be hosting a couple of weeks from this event.

My Second Article is Published on Making Surgical Decisions for Children With Microtia/Atresia…
In May of 2011, my second article is published in the Hands & Voices 2011 Spring National newsletter for The Communicator. My article is called: “Mixed Feelings: Making Surgical Decisions for Children With Microtia/Atresia.” This article along with my other article “Falling Through the Cracks With Microtia/Atresia” are currently on hand at many surgeon offices. In addition, both of these articles have been read by numerous audiology students and audiologists, therapists and counselors and kept on hand at many organizations such as the Hands & Voices, schools for the deaf and blind and at various children’s hospitals across our nation.
