New hearing aids aimed at better supporting children with hearing loss are being provided.
Shayleigh, five, from Wolverhampton, was one of the first to be fitted with the aid and her mother, Marnie, said it was much better for her.
The new device is worn on a softer headband than previous designs and has improved data logging and battery reactions, Jennie Howard, Advanced Audiologist at The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust, said.
Shayleigh has congenital hearing loss in her left ear. At school, her teacher will be given a microphone so Shayleigh can hear her directly, which her mother said was fantastic.
