September 2004: A hearing instrument designed for
infants.
Contrary to popular belief, it's not just the elderly who
can lose their hearing. It's estimated that three out of every 1,000 newborns in
the U.S. is born with hearing loss. Now, for the first time ever, there's a
hearing instrument especially designed to meet the needs of infants -- allowing
them to do anything that their normal hearing peers do.

August 2004: It’s time for back to
school.
It's back to school time for millions of kids around the
country, which means time for new books, new classes and tests. But experts say
there's one test parents should make sure their child takes early on - a hearing
test. Studies indicate children with hearing loss are ten times as likely to be
held back at least one grade compared to students with normal hearing. But with
early diagnosis, a young student with hearing loss can still experience
success.
