Mattel unveiled its first-ever Barbie doll with behind-the-ear hearing aids, a doll with a prosthetic leg and even a Ken doll with vitiligo as part of the Fashionistas doll collection. "This year’s Fashionistas doll with behind-the-ear hearing aids is designed to build on the diverse doll line to help inspire children to tell more stories and find a doll that represents them," said Mattel.
"I’m honored to have worked with Barbie to create an accurate reflection of a doll with behind-the-ear hearing aids. As an educational audiologist with over 18 years of experience working in hearing loss advocacy, it’s inspiring to see those who experience hearing loss reflected in a doll. I'm beyond thrilled for my young patients to see and play with a doll who looks like them," said Dr.
Also included in the line are new Ken doll options with rooted short hair and slender builds and a variety of Barbie dolls with different body types such as curvy, petite and the original, according to the company.
