Ohio Valley Voices

We're an early intervention center teaching children who are deaf or hard of hearing to listen and speak through the use of hearing aids & cochlear implants.

#HappyMonday! At OVV, even Mondays are fun because we get to teach (and learn from) these adorable, hard working kids!⁠

A wonderful update from OVV grad, Spirit! Her mother says, "Spirit is 10 now and taller than me. She knows #ASL fluently and is so amazing. She speaks and reads lips! She even started Spirit's Heart, a #nonprofit where she helps families of the #deaf community."👏

Last but not least, meet Program Director, Carey Ratliff!⁠
⁠
In 2003, Carey began teaching at OVV. Upon receiving her M.Ed, she shifted to Teacher Coordinator. 9 years ago, she became Program Director, and we couldn't be more thankful to have her on our team!

And just like that, another OVV grad is off to college!🥲

Ireland graduated OVV in 2010 and will attend Indiana Bible School to study women’s ministry. She also plans to get her phlebotomy certification!

Did you know a child with mild #hearingloss can miss up to 50% of classroom discussions?

That's why at OVV, we work tirelessly to ensure our kids can enter mainstream school to excel along side their hearing peers.

A lot of people mistakenly think hearing aids are just like glasses. We address this and other common myths. https://t.co/3sulBZ2JjL
