Saskia is getting LOUD!

Let's get LOUD to help others like me!

This October I am getting LOUD!

I am raising money that will support babies and children who are deaf or have hearing loss, just like me. 

I received my first set of hearing aids at the age of 18 months as I was born before the Newborn Screening Program started. I received my first Cochlear Implant at age 3 followed a second cochlear at age 11. 

Just within the last 6 months I had to get my original implant re-implanted. The audiology and auditory learning support that I have received post re-implantation have been vital to my recovery. 

Hear and Say have been a huge part of my Hearing Journey and I honestly wouldn't be where I am today without their support. 

I also have and always will consider Hear and Say to be my home away from home. 

Did you know

1 in 1,000 babies in Australia are born with significant hearing loss,
2 in 1,000 children by school age experience significant hearing loss,
3 in 1,000 children in secondary school require assistance because of hearing loss.

Please support me by donating online to help me reach my fundraising goal. Your support will enable Hear and Say to identify hearing loss, help children access hearing technology and secure the therapeutic services they need to thrive.
