Bring Mama Hu Hears to Your Event
Meet your speaker
Pediatric audiologist. DHH adult. Bilateral cochlear implant user. Mom of four.
Dr. Michelle Hu talks about the things that don't always show up on the audiogram: Access, listening fatigue, identity, advocacy, belonging, family decision-making, and what DHH kids may be experiencing even when they look like they're doing just fine.
Whether you are looking to inspire healthcare teams, empower parents, or deepen inclusion in your community, Dr. Hu's goal isn't just to give people more information. She wants you to leave looking at DHH kids and families a little differently than they did when they walked in. Whether she's speaking to parents, audiologists, educators, healthcare teams, or DHH communities, she blends research and clinical insights with lived experience and practical steps people can take the next day.

What audiences say
“Individual experience is a feature of audiological care that I think is taught without much personalization. I am grateful to have learned about Michelle's personal experiences and how they have impacted her as an audiologist, parent, patient, and person on social media. The takeaways from this presentation apply clinically and personally.”
