Quota International helps two children and their families pay for hearing aids

WOOSTER -- Sitting in the classroom and listening clearly to what a teacher is saying is one of the most important keys to a student's success. So when that is jeopardized by the child's inability to hear clearly, accomplishments are harder to earn.
Such was the case for 7-year-old Travis Roe and 6-year-old Kenzie Beckler, until their parents heard of the help available from the cooperative effort of Quota International and Siemens Hearing Instruments.
Travis wasn't passing his hearing exams when an audiologist diagnosed him with mild hearing loss, which doctors are unsure how he developed. After he was written a prescription for hearing aids for both ears, his parents, Rachel and William Roe, learned their Medicaid provider would not pay for them. They were referred by doctors to the Wooster Quota Club's "Sound Beginnings" program, which provides vouchers for hearing aids for children 18 and under.
The hearing aids Travis now has have made a huge improvement for him, his mom said, making it possible for the Orrville first-grader to enjoy learning.
