Amplified Podcast

Amplified: Presented by Lurie Children’s is a mini-series about growing up with hearing loss. Season 1: Katie Radasevich already demonstrated a speech and language delay when she was identified with a significant hearing loss at age two. Listen to Katie and her family share the journey from pre-diagnosis to Katie’s current incredible accomplishments through anecdotes, tears and laughter – very loud laughter. This is a great resource for families who have a child with hearing loss, or anyone who enjoys uplifting human interest stories. Season 2: Dr. Katie Colella returns, now joined by Dr. Katie Farnsworth from Season 1, to co-host Season 2 of Amplified: Presented by Lurie Children’s. Laugh and cry as they unpack the story of Maria Perez, and her sons, Eduardo and Esteban Venalonzo, both diagnosed with significant hearing loss at a young age and the family’s subsequent journey with cochlear implants.
