Dad tattoos hearing aid image on his head to support daughter

A father from New Zealand decided to make his six-year-old girl feel better about her cochlear implants, by getting a tattoo of one on his head.

Alistair Campbell's daughter Charlotte suffers from extreme hearing loss and received her first implant when she was just four. He told the New Zealand Herald that he made the heartfelt gesture out of love for his little girl.

Campbell also revealed that hearing loss runs in his family. His second son, Lewis, wears hearing aids and his mother wore a hearing implant. He has no other tattoos and plans to grow his hair out, but will shave it, if his daughter requests it.

A cochlear implant (CI) is a surgically implanted electronic device that provides a sense of sound to a person who is profoundly deaf or severely hard of hearing.
