During the Auckland Arts Festival an artist from Melbourne performed her poignant show about what it's like grow up in the 80s as a CODA - or Child of Deaf Adults.

Jodee Mundy's show 'Personal' is a humorous and heartfelt account of what it's like to walk between the hearing and deaf worlds.

It got us wondering what it's like to be part of the CODA community in New Zealand, in 2025.

On the show Jesse is talking to Christchurch resident Jack King.

His parents are both deaf and his sister is half deaf, making him the only fully hearing person in his household.
