"Billie BAHA goes to the movies" book trailer.
An inclusive children's book highlighting deaf and hard of hearing characters!
I’m so glad you came by. My name is Billie. I’m four years old and I am also Hard of Hearing. I have bilateral hearing loss due to Microtia. Microtia is a congenital condition of a little or missing outer ear. I wear my BAHA to be able to hear the world around me.
I go to a school with all my other friends that are also Deaf or Hard of Hearing, but they don’t all wear BAHAs to hear like me. Some of my friends wear behind the ear hearing aids or cochlear implants. I even have one friend that does not wear anything to hear, but we all have one thing in common... we are all SUPER HEARo’S!
Microtia Awareness Day is November 9th, but I celebrate my Super HEARo abilities with my friends EVERYDAY! I wear my cape sometimes so people know I’m a Super HEARo!
My superpowers are kindness and acceptance. Together we will discover communication repair strategies, self-advocacy, and how to bring everyone's differences together!
