Supermom designs superhero hearing aids for kids

UK mother Sarah Ivermee is a definite contender for supermom status.
Ivermee's son Freddie suffers from hearing loss in one ear and deafness in the other. To help him hear throughout the day, he wears a cochlear implant, an electronic device that sends sound signals to the brain.
Wearing hearing aids can be hard for young children, but that's where Ivermee comes in. When a friend mentioned that her daughter felt self-conscious about wearing her aids to school, Ivermee suggested adding nail stickers for a little flair.
Now, Ivermee manages Lugs, a line of fun, colorful aids that kids will feel cool wearing — because let's face it, who wouldn't choose Spider-Man or Minions over plain blue?
