Full Circle Moments: A Mission to ONE MILLION EARS

Fifteen years ago, I was a mom on a mission — fueled by love, faith, and a fierce determination to make life better for my daughter, Lexi.

At that time, there was no waterproof solution for cochlear implants. Lexi was newly implanted, and I was balancing my day job in Development at Vanderbilt University while working nights and weekends to build a small nonprofit called Songs for Sound — now known as LexCare Hearing Foundation.

I discovered something simple but powerful: swimming cap material worked to keep Lexi’s processors on her head during active moments. I bought swim caps, cut them into headbands, and kept pushing forward.

Then I heard about a senior engineering competition at Vanderbilt. It was a long shot — I was up against ideas for heart surgeries and other complex projects. But Dr. Paul King, a professor leading the program, took a chance on my heartfelt submission.

I worked with two brilliant students who developed a prototype for a waterproof system. We eventually shared it with a global hearing company who was working on something similar. I don’t know if our designs directly influenced future solutions, but that process ignited a passion inside me that would never fade:to change the world for people living with hearing loss.

Fast forward almost 15 years.

Just two weeks ago, at one of our free hearing screening events, I glanced over and recognized a man taking a screening. I looked at the name on our software portal —Dr. Paul King.The professor who believed in my dream.

I was overcome with gratitude — for the journey, the hard moments, the blessings, the full-circle beauty only God can orchestrate.

Today, Lexi is thriving — an Honors and AP student, approaching her senior year, speaking fluently, living the full life once only imagined.

And LexCare Hearing Foundation is growing faster than ever.

Our mission has expanded — we now fight to reach ONE MILLION EARS through:

Over 200 mobile outreach events annually serving veterans, seniors, and underserved communities.
12 Hearoes Day events across the U.S., connecting individuals to local hearing health resources.
Supporting VA systems with vital hearing health services.
Building international hearing healthcare models in countries like Jamaica.
Expanding “Hear to Learn” screenings in Nashville Metro Schools.
Launching our CARE TEAM, revolutionizing the journey to hearing care access.

Why am I sharing this?
