Fisher Garver is just like one of the three million other children under
18 who are living with some form of hearing loss. Doctors are now
working to identify and treat hearing loss in infants. There are a number of risk factors which could
put a child’s hearing in jeopardy. Those inlcude infants born
prematurely, anyone with a family history of hearing loss or babies who
suffered a prenatal infection they shared with their mother while in the
womb. That was exactly what Fisher’s mother faced, sensing very early
on that something was wrong.
