In 1994 our almost four hear old daughter, Hillary was diagnosed with a severe to profound bilateral sensori-neural hearing loss. For any parent that’s a mouthful but to a parent who’s been searching for answers to their child’s unusual behavior it was such a relief! Finally we had answers to so many questions and a plan to correct and improve not only our daughter’s behavior but her quality of life. She was to be fitted with hearing aids immediately.

After being fitted with hearing aids it wasn’t long until we realized that those pesky little things didn’t stay in well by themselves, especially when there was a 3 year old pulling them out; she hadn’t realized how much they were to benefit her just yet. After going to a birthday party and discovering when it was time to go home that one of the hearing aids had disappeared, then searching for an hour before we finally found it, Jennifer decided enough was enough. She designed and created an adjustable retention product to keep the hearing aids in place, put them on Hillary’s hearing aids and forgot about them.

During the next visit to the audiologist, the doctor asked where she had purchased that incredible product that was keeping Hillary’s hearing aids in place. Jennifer explained that it was a one of a kind, original. The audiologist asked her to go into business and sell them so that the hospital could purchase them. By the time the company was founded and incorporated it was 1997 and Hillary’s younger brother, Jeremiah had been diagnosed with a similar hearing loss as well and the rest is history. We grew from that one product to four different ones for use with hearing aids, glasses and cochlear implant BTE processors as well as hair barrettes that were designed for those with aural atresia/microtia. All products except the hair barrettes can be used with one hearing device alone as well as with glasses simultaneously.
