Nate has been diagnosed with a 30 to 40 decible hearing impairment. We are going to look for a second opinion. We are hoping that the loss isn't as severe as originally diagnosed and are trying to remain optimistic as to future options. Below are some resources to learn more about deafness and hearing impairment:
