Are you new to the hearing loss diagnosis and finding it hard to navigate through the twists and turns of the medical system?
Does it leave you feeling desperate to find the right answers to help your child?
That’s exactly how our guest, Dr. Megan Becker, felt when she got a CMV and hearing loss diagnosis for her son.
In this episode Megan details her family’s journey from the drawn out process of even getting the right diagnosis, to an even more drawn out process to navigating the next right steps through the healthcare system.
Megan shares what she wishes she would have known at the beginning of this journey, and gives parents excellent tips about how to advocate for your child through the medical system.
If you’re struggling through navigating medical experts with your child right now, then I hope that our chat today can give you some clarity on next steps that you can take, or questions that you can ask your doctor or specialist.
