Here is a story that is very inspiring. Anthony Smith, who is four years old, is a big comic book fan. He can't hear on his right ear, and he also suffers from hearing loss in the other ear. Smith wears a hearing aid, but one day he woke up and decided not to put it on.
My Fox Boston has more info:
"Anthony told his mother that superheroes don't wear hearing aids. His mother decided to look to Marvel Comics for some assistance. She e-mailed the comic empire known for its popular superheroes like Spider-man and the Avengers, looking for examples of superheroes who suffer from hearing loss."
"Marvel responded with the image of a superhero known as Hawkeye, a superhero who lost 80-percent of his hearing and wears hearing aids.
Marvel didn't stop there. They later sent Anthony a drawing of a new superhero, "Blue Ear." The character is named after Anthony's hearing aid, which he and his mother have always called blue ear."
