I remember watching a made for TV movie that originated from the US about a CODA girl growing up in the 1920s or 1930s. The deaf couple had another child but that child was killed early on and they depended on the hearing daughter to get through life and interpret for them.
Eventually the hearing daughter rebelled against the dependency and got married and moved away. I think (but am not sure) that the daughter may have been ashamed of her parents because her father went and got a hearing aid when he came to meet her future husband's parents and it was obvious it did nothing for him. The movie ended with a happy ending where they reunited - I guess the daughter stopped being ashamed of her parents and the parents realised she needed her own life? I saw the movie as a teen. Anyone else see it? I reckon it was made in the 1980s?
