Having a baby is the beginning of a new and wonderful relationship.

Life with your baby with hearing loss will start in the same way as it does with any baby, but there will also be appointments with doctors, specialists, health professionals, and other services. You will also have questions to answer and think about as well as lots of information to take in.

Healthy Hearing Family Support Service has developed this resource, Mipla Binna to provide the support you need at this time. When your child is diagnosed with hearing loss, it may come as a complete surprise. It can be very stressful time, and may present both challenges and opportunities.
