A seven-year-old girl born with hearing problems can finally dress up as her favourite superheroes after getting a high-tech hearing aid. <br /><br />Tomboy Lola McKnight had been forced to wear a prominent hearing device held in place by a headband since she was five months old. <br /><br />The youngster felt the device held her back from dressing up and looking like her favourite superheroes, the Hulk and Spiderman. <br /><br />Now the Marvel mad kid has been given a discreet, behind-the-ear aid that sticks to the skin, allowing her to become a superhero and giving her better hearing.<br /><br />Mum Frankie, 33, said: “The advanced technology means she can hear better, which is great – but Lola is happier to lose the headband, it really ruined her street cred.<br /><br />“She is a real tomboy, she loves watching shark videos with her dad, runs a boy's only dinosaur club and would not be seen in a skirt but most of all she loves superheroes.”<br /><br />Lola’s new device, delivered on earlier this month (December 10), is called an "Adhear" and it the cutting edge of hearing technology.
