A Careful Adjustment

A young white deaf teen with braces sits in a medical treatment chair while an audiologist places a mauve colored cochlear implant on her head. The teen looks at her mother, who is standing and looking at the procedure with curiosity. The teen has long, wavy sandy blonde hair and is wearing a jean jacket, and a yellow blouse and skirt. The audiologist is a Black deafBlind woman wearing glasses and has dark brown shoulder length locs. The teen's mother is a middle-aged white woman with straight brown hair and glasses. She is wearing an off-white striped summer jacket and jeans. A row of four framed professional degrees are hanging on the wall behind them.
