New Baby with Hearing Loss? FHSR.org/1-3-6 Help Is Here

Los Angeles, Calif.—Mission Matters Podcast Host Adam Torres sits down with Kristen Van Dyke, Executive Director of the Foundation for Hearing & Speech Resources (FHSR) to discuss a very important topic that is near and dear to Van Dyke and her nonprofit: Hearing loss in infants and children. Her nonprofit, FHSR, is supporting children with hearing loss and is bringing awareness to those who are searching for help. Torres starts every podcast with the same important question during the Mission Matters Minute. He asks each guest, “What Mission Matters to you?” Van Dyke says, “Well, statistically speaking, every 1,000 children born in Illinois, two or three babies will be born with hearing loss. That’s why the Foundation for Hearing & Speech Resources encourages parents to take the crucial step toward ensuring infants' optimal hearing health.” Van Dyke goes on to explain that “if your baby fails their newborn hearing screening exam, that first step is to book a follow-up appointment with a local pediatric audiologist to check on your baby’s hearing within the first month of life.” Follow Adam on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/askadamtorres/ for up to date information on book releases and tour schedule.
