Andrea Zottola lost much of her hearing in her 20’s due to an ototoxic medication that saved her life. She’s been living with the fallout of those medications ever since, unable to hear her baby crying or her children’s voices much of the time.

"My hearing was bad enough that if it was thundering outside, I wouldn't hear it," Zottola said.

HearingLife provider, Jennifer Beckner, met Alexandra and nominated her for the Campaign for Better Hearing’s Give Back Program, who chose Alexandra for free hearing aids.

"The best part of my job is to be able to improve someone's quality of life like this," Beckner said.
