I'm Dr. Michelle Hu and I am a pediatric audiologist. I grew up in the small town of Kent Ohio but have called San Diego California home since 2009. Something unique about me is that I grew up with hearing loss and utilize bilateral cochlear implants. I was likely born with mild hearing loss due to Enlarged Vestibular Aqueduct Syndrome (EVAS) in conjunction with Pendred Syndrome.</p><p class=ql-align-center><br></p><p class=ql-align-center><em>Dedicated to the children the little Michelles out there - you GET to grow up supported and loved by your villages. </em></p><p class=ql-align-center><em>May you live powerfully and supported - knowing you can truly accomplish anything you could ever dream of.</em></p>
