It will be bold. Dramatic! Yeah. Heroic! Yeah, something classic, like Dynaguy! Oh! He had a great look! Oh, the cape and the boots… No capes! Isn’t that my decision?

As recently as the early 1990s, if you were born deaf, nobody would know for years. Parents were left to realize that something was amiss when their toddlers were not learning to talk or communicate at a normal pace. A diagnosis that late meant many deaf children never fully developed the ability to use language.

Today, things are drastically different for hard-of-hearing children, thanks to the efforts of a remarkable woman named Dr. Marion Downs.

It was just chance that Downs ended up as an audiologist. In the 1930s, she dropped out of college to marry and have children. When her children were old enough to spend their days in school, she wrapped up her bachelor’s degree and headed to the University of Denver to register for graduate school.

“It was right after World War II, and there were GIs standing in miles of lines for different departments. And I said, ‘I’ll find a short line,’ ” Downs told Colorado Public Radio in 2011. “So I found a short line that was speech pathology and audiology.”

She was a woman in a field dominated by men — and a mother surrounded by audiologists who insisted it made no difference whether hearing loss was detected at birth or years into a child’s life. Downs didn’t believe that, but it would be decades before research proved her right.
