One of the questions we often hear parents of a child who is deaf or hard of hearing ask is, what does the future look like for my child and our family? How does it all turn out? Will they grow up and get married? Will they live on their own? What does the relationship with their family look like now?

Listening In LIVE is a series of virtual live watch parties that feature interviews with young adults born deaf or hard of hearing and their families as they share what life is like with Listening and Spoken Language (LSL).

LSL has opened up a world of possibilities for children who are deaf or hard of hearing, and in this series, we’re featuring young adults who reflect on their journey through life listening, talking and thriving. They’ll share how LSL has allowed them to achieve their goals while giving the viewers a glimpse into what’s possible.
