Eden Prairie, Minnesota

October 2013 USA

Traveling from nearby Metro Deaf School and Faribault School for the Deaf, and from as far away as California, Missouri and Indiana, more than 50 patients arrived at our headquarters for a hearing mission with the Minnesota Vikings and Starkey Hearing Technologies. Overjoyed to meet their heroes, the children taught Vikings stars Adrian Peterson, Greg Jennings, Josh Freeman, Jerome Simpson and Greg Childs some sign language, while the players doled out encouragement, inspiration and autographs.

Peterson and Jennings laughed and joked with the children, and each of the players had the opportunity to assist as we fit each patient with brand new top-of-the-line hearing aids, customized to their hearing loss.

Thanks to Starkey Hearing Technologies, the Vikings and these players with generous hearts, each child left with a huge smile and had a day they will never forget.
