Hello there! I’m Cydney, and this is the story of my life. Born with a hearing loss, I faced unique challenges from the get-go. But guess what? This journey isn’t just about overcoming difficulties. It’s also about celebrating victories and learning valuable lessons that life graciously throws our way. My experiences, both joyous and challenging, have given me a perspective that I believe is particularly beneficial for parents raising children with similar needs.
So, let me take you through some pivotal moments. These moments not only shaped my outlook but also equipped me with the insights I now share to make life simpler for other parents. Picture this: overcoming the initial shock of diagnosis, navigating a world built for hearing, and ultimately embracing my identity with confidence. Each step taught me that challenges aren’t just roadblocks; they’re opportunities to grow and excel.
When I say ‘opportunity,’ I mean the chance to learn resilience, foster independence, and cultivate empathy—traits that have strengthened my connection with my own children, now grown, and enriched my marriage. I want parents to know this: you’re not on this journey alone. There’s a wealth of experience to lean on and a community ready to support you.
My life experiences have shaped me into more than a survivor; I’ve become a guiding light for those finding their way amidst new challenges. As I continue to thrive, I channel my experiences into Two Happy Ears, our dedicated platform. It’s not just about hearing loss; it’s about empowering families to make informed, nurturing decisions for their little ones.
Transitioning from a personal narrative to something much bigger, I found myself eager to reach out and help others. That’s how Two Happy Ears came to be—rooted in my journey and fueled by a desire to support, educate, and empower parents globally. Let’s step into our mission next. Ready to join me?

Life Beyond Hearing Loss: Personal Insights and Hobbies
Thanks for continuing this journey with me. Beyond my mission with Two Happy Ears, I’m a person just like you—living, learning, and loving. Family shapes much of who I am. I’m married to a wonderful husband, and together, we’ve raised two remarkable adult children. They’ve taught me as much about life, love, and resilience as any challenge possibly could.
When it comes to hobbies, I find solace and excitement in the simplest things. Whether it’s curling up with a good book, enjoying vibrant nature hikes, or experimenting with new recipes, these activities root me in the present and bring balance to my life.
