Hi, I’m Dr. Michelle Hu — pediatric audiologist, mama, and founder of Mama Hu Hears.
I created this space to support, educate, and empower families navigating childhood hearing loss — because I’ve lived it from both sides of the audiology booth.
I was born with progressive hearing loss and now wear bilateral cochlear implants. Diagnosed as a toddler, I remember the wonder of hearing birds for the first time and the confusing, emotional moments that came with every shift in my hearing journey. Now, as a doctor and a mom, I bring that lived experience into my work every day.
For over a decade, I’ve worked with children and families in clinical settings — but I wanted to do more. During my third maternity leave, Mama Hu Hears was born.
What started as an Instagram account quickly became a global resource for parents searching for clarity, community, and confidence.
I believe parents are the most important advocates for their children. I’m here to give you the tools, language, and support to step into that role — with courage and calm. From practical tips and video resources to online courses and social media education, my goal is simple: to help you feel less overwhelmed and more empowered.
This is a place where lived experience meets expert guidance — where you’re not alone, and your questions are always welcome.
You’ve got this — and I’ve got you.
