People magazine's interview with Joey McIntyre gives a touching glimpse into one family's experience with having their baby, Rhys, who was diagnosed with a permanent severe hearing loss at birth. They discuss their reaction to the news and how their now 3 month old son, who is wearing hearing aids, is able to be a part of the hearing world. When he is 12 months old, he will be evaluated for a cochlear implant.
This story is a wonderful example showing the progress a child can show with early identification of a hearing loss and subsequent early intervention. Read story on www.people.com: Joey McIntrye Opens Up About Rhys' Hearing Loss.
It is also wonderful to recognize the outpour of support from readers' comments! Enjoy!
