As the hockey player for the Winnipeg Jets Mr. Kyte hardly seems to fit the stereotype of a person with a hearing loss. He's young and virile, so active, and so much a part of life. We were pleased that Mr. Kyte, the first hard-of-hearing hockey play, came forward to publicly talk about his hearing loss and to encourage other young people to seek a solution for their hearing loss. Hearing aids helped him to become victorious over his hearing loss.
