There was nothing special with the school picture of a toddler girl although her superman suit and a sweet embrace to a Superman doll became interesting. Nonetheless, the deaf community in the social media made it a viral one because of their keen senses to see the hearing aid that the little girl was wearing.
Kaylieann Steinbach, 3, is a great fan of superheroes as she dresses up almost any costumes from Spiderman to princesses. She decided one day to wear the Supergirl costume for her preschool photo this year.
"I had a normal school day outfit picked out for her," Kaylieann's dad, Austin Steinbach said in an interview with PEOPLE. "But when she saw it, she said, 'No, Supergirl!'
Austin thought his wife would be mad to see her not wearing a uniform for the preschool photo. However, when mom Jami, 28, saw her toddler's school picture, she thought it was priceless.
"She thought the picture was adorable," Austin stated. "Especially the prom-style pose with her Superman doll!"
Austin shared his daughter's school photo on Reddit, and he did not expect it would go viral. "It's surreal. But what I'm most surprised about is the reaction from the deaf community," Austin told PEOPLE.
The hearing aid was a very small detail in the photo. But when the deaf community saw it, their happiness to see a sweet smile from the little toddler gone lavishly and inspired many.
Kaylieann is 75 percent deaf. Austin and Jami still do not know the reason as doctors were not able to provide answers yet.
The National Deaf Children Society believes that children become deaf because of certain reasons like Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder (ANSD), Cleft palate, Glue ear, Meningitis, Cholesteatoma, Otosclerosis, Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Enlarged vestibular aqueducts, Genetic syndromes associated with hearing loss, or Microtia and atresia.
Kaylieann's hearing got impaired when she was two years old. Her parents do not deprive her of love and comfort as she gets through with this.
