Shout! A Little Bit Louder Now, Part II

It seems like such a simple test, but it’s more complicated than you might expect. My daughter sat up in the bed in the doctor’s office for her annual checkup.  She had already stepped on the scale, stood up straight and tall, and read the eye chart.  Now it was time for the hearing test. […]
