The Super Hero and the Hearing Aid
Little Anthony Smith has had to wear a hearing aid since the age of four. Like most children, being visibly different made him hate wearing it. Then, in 2012, he refused to wear it any longer saying, “super heroes don’t have blue ears.” Distraught and unsure what to do, Anthony’s mom wrote a letter to Marvel Comics wondering if there was any chance they could create a deaf superhero poetically named, “Blue Ear.” Marvel obliged and, as you can see from the photo, Anthony has given up his protest and is instead embracing his new superhero status.
