Helping Poppy find her voice and confidence every day.
Poppy is an energetic and bright eight-year-old, but she faces daily challenges living with Auditory Processing Disorder — a condition that affects how her brain processes sound.
At home and at school, simple tasks that many take for granted became overwhelming. Understanding instructions, keeping up in conversations, and focusing in busy environments were all difficult, impacting her ability to learn, communicate and feel confident.
With support from Variety SA, Poppy received a hearing aid and charging set — a simple but life-changing solution that has made a remarkable difference in her everyday life.
The impact has been immediate.
Mornings are now calmer and more manageable, with Poppy able to get ready for the day with greater ease. At school and at home, her ability to process sound has improved, helping her better understand the world around her.
Most importantly, her emotional regulation has improved significantly. With less frustration and overwhelm, Poppy is happier, more confident, and able to engage more fully in daily life.
For Poppy and her family, the difference in her quality of life has been truly immeasurable.
Watch how the right support has helped Poppy feel more confident, calm and connected every day.
