Happy Tuesday! We are excited to share our first HEAR to Inspire post!!! 🦻Meet Noah! His mom, Michelle, shared, "My 4 year old, Noah, has permanent, moderate hearing loss in both ears due to chemotherapy. He was diagnosed with liver cancer just days after his 1st birthday. He survived 13 rounds of chemo, a radiation treatment never done on a baby before, a cardiac arrest, a liver transplant and about 500 days in the hospital. He is now over 2.5 years cancer free! Believe it or not, his cancer journey is just one small part of his story. He was quite speech and developmentally delayed due to his circumstances. Once he got his first set of hearing aids, though, his speech exploded. While he still has some trouble with some sounds, his vocabulary is growing by leaps and bounds. Despite everything he's been through in his short life, he has the kindest heart and the most positive spirit." We are so proud of you Noah and thank you for being HEAR to inspire us! 🎉
