My husband has a hearing loss and remembers attending some GDCS events as a child and when we discovered our son has the same hearing loss, I realised that hearing loss was always going to be a part of my life. We started to attend GDCS events approximately 4 years ago and were warmly welcomed by adults and children alike and I strongly believe that already being involved in the charity really helped my son when he needed his first hearing aid we. I joined the committee in 2019 and took on the role of Secretary in 2020.
