The money will be used for additional testing and the fitting of hearing aids for the Fairleys' 21-month old daughter, Madison.
Doctors detected severe hearing loss in Madison's left ear shortly after she was born. She suffers from mild hearing loss in her right ear.
The funding is provided by the HIKE Fund, Inc. of Job's Daughters International.
