Helen is a mother to her an unstoppable, confident, caring six year old daughter Harley. Harley was born with profound hearing loss that was picked up a couple of days after birth.

Thanks to incredible technology of Cochlear Implants, years of early intervention support and therapy, Harley can hear and therefore speak and generally keep up with her year 1 peers at our local mainstream school. Helen says, “It’s been an incredible journey and we’ve learnt so much!” The Cochlear Implant technology is truly incredible, but with all the access that it brings, it also means the family are completely dependent on it and therefore caring for the device is their top priority as this is Harley’s access to the world.
