Seven-year-old Ziyke Moser from Lehighton, PA struggled with hearing loss his whole life and had to rely on lip reading to communicate. His mother, Ashley, was determined to find a way to get Ziyke hearing aids, despite the fact they wouldn\u2019t be covered by insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ashley found about the Miracle Ear Foundation from her grandfather, who also received hearing aids from the foundation. \u201cBeing able to watch him get the hearing aids turned on and he stopped reading the lips and was looking around was amazing,\u201d Ashley said in an interview<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nZiyke\u2019s audiologist, Amy Buchman, is optimistic about his progress. \u201cHe is so young, and to be able to provide the gift of sound to Ziyke\u2026 I am so honored. He is really going to start receiving some better speech understanding which is going to help him across the board,” she explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ziyke is excited to be able to hear his teachers and coach, as well as the sounds of the soccer ball when he kicks it and the drop of the hockey puck at games. He chose black and yellow hearing aids in honor of his team, the Baby Penguins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
