Come and enjoy a new documentary by Irene Taylor Brodsky and Jane R. Madell at the March 9th premiere during the CI2018 DC Emerging Issues Symposium in Washington, D.C.! The Listening Project features interviews with 12 young adults who were born deaf and diagnosed late given the timeframe (prior to newborn hearing screening). The individuals in the film all grew up using hearing aids and received cochlear implants later as CIs were not yet available for young children. They all showcase what is possible for children with hearing loss who have access to advanced technology and good auditory-based therapy.

The event includes a film showing, chamgapgne reception, and a panel discussion involving the filmmakers and four people from the film. Captioning will be provided for the film and the discussion. Tickets cost $25 with the promo code MCICEP, and are free for conference attendees. Purchase yours here!
