Hi I'm Phoebe. You are reading this because you know me or my family (I have a funny brother and doting parents).
I was born with microtia and atresia, which means
no ear canal on my left side. It also means my external ear was not formed completely while I was in mommy's tummy. Doctors told us the causes of this condition are still unknown and it is not detected during prenatal check-ups.
Our family learned this is a condition that I can live with. It does not impact my growth and I'm getting used to my life with my little ear. My right ear works fine, and I'm used to the hearing level that I'm born with (this idea comes from my mom's colleague nurse who was born with bilateral hearing loss).
This page is for us to let you know a little bit more about my hearing challenges and tips how you can help me.
We thank you very much for your attention and loving care you provide everyday.
