Ninety-five decibels is a loudness threshold used in measuring hearing loss, the point at which profound hearing loss begins. "95 Decibels" is also the title of a short film about a young couple facing a diagnosis of deafness in their daughter. When Erica (Megan Corry) notices that her toddler daughter Sophia (Emma Cattucci) is not responding to her name, she and her husband, Dylan (Tyler Hollinger), are concerned. Although their pediatrician suggests they wait and see, the worried parents persist. A diagnosis of deafness plunges them into a maze of conflicting medical advice, insurance company denials and difficult choices. The film also features Goran Vinjic (Dr. Luka Kovac on TV's "ER") as a doctor who specializes in cochlear implants. 95 Decibels is based on a true story and focuses on three key areas: the importance of early detection, medical insurance coverage and rehabilitation.
