Team Eye and Ear Falmouth 2026
FULL CIRCLE
I’ve told the story before, when I was a child, Mass Eye & Ear saved my life. Never would I imagine my story would come full circle.
Last year, my 5 year old, Bryce, was diagnosed with significant hearing loss due to a Cholesteatoma in his right ear.
What started as failed hearing tests quickly spiraled into a series or urgent appointments and it was important for him to have surgery quickly.
The longest day of my life (well one of many thanks Tate) came - 6 hours of surgery for B. When the Doctor finally came out we learned the cholesteatoma was large, they had to remove all his hearing bones, reconstruct his eardrum and open up behind his ear/head to clean out a scary infection. And resulted in complete hearing loss in his right ear.
Followed that surgery up with another 4 hour Reconstructive Surgery and New Hearing aids, and he's taking it all like a champ.
To show my overwhelming gratitude for all they have done. I am running (yet again!) the Falmouth for Mass Eye and Ear. Bryce’s journey isn’t over, we have more surgeries scheduled and he will be followed for his lifetime. But because of Mass Eye and Ear and their quick response his future his filled with so much possibilities!
Thank you for caring for my son.
