Hearing Aid “Charms” Designed by 12-Year-Old Hayleigh Scott
Don’t hide your hearing aids. |
Hayleigh Scott is an 12-year-old student who is hearing impaired. She didn’t want to hide her hearing aids. She wasn’t ashamed of them. She was determined to make her over-the-ear hearing aids beautiful! So she began designing hearing aid charms. Soon her classmates at a school for the hearing impaired (both girls and boys!) – and their parents – were begging Hayleigh to make hearing aid charms for them too! Now she can’t make enough. ila/SOUNDBYTES is proud to be the exclusive distributor of over-the-ear hearing aid charms by Hayleigh Scott, a remarkable young lady.
