The Listening Project

Carolyn Smaka, in partnership with Montclair Film, invites you to a screening of

The Listening Project

A documentary by
Irene Taylor Brodsky & Dr. Jane R. Madell

This film interviews 15 young adults in their 20s and 30s who were diagnosed with hearing loss as young children. They discuss their experiences growing up with hearing loss at a time before newborn hearing screening and before the advent of modern hearing technology like cochlear implants. Their stories demonstrate what is possible for children with hearing loss today with the advances and technology that are now available. This film is open captioned. View the trailer: www.thelisteningprojectfilm.org

A Q &A with one of the filmmakers will immediately follow the film, and will be live open captioned.

The filmmakers would like to extend a special invitation to this

screening for parents and adult family members of children with 

hearing loss. This film is appropriate for viewers 12 years and over.
