Outreach: A shared experience
Emma Moore (M.S. ’22) lives with hearing loss in a hearing world.
Because she experienced things differently than most, Moore didn’t know anyone with firsthand knowledge of her condition to turn to for advice. In fact, she’d never met another person with hearing loss until she attended a free aural rehabilitation group at the University of Georgia.
While there, she met Katie Tran (B.S. ’24), a pre-med student majoring in biology, who was born with bilateral hearing loss and shared a similar experience to Moore—she had only met one other person her age with hearing loss.
