We get it.
The founder and executive director, Dr. Jacqueline Scholl, knows what it’s like to watch someone you love be marginalized.
Dr. Scholl is an audiologist and owned her own speech & hearing clinic, The Scholl Center, until 2019. She and her husband, Eric, have a biological son, Nicholas, and a daughter, Jayde, they adopted from China when she was almost 6 years old. Knowing Jayde had a hearing loss didn’t deter the Scholl’s from adopting because after all, that’s something Dr. Scholl knew well. It didn’t take long to discover Jayde had more going on than just hearing loss.
Jayde was profoundly deaf with hypoplastic eighth auditory nerves. She had never heard a sound in her almost 6 years of life and had no language - not even sign language. Dr. Scholl’s grand knowledge of hearing loss was put to the test and she learned quickly she didn’t know much at all about what it meant to be deaf.
They say that necessity is the mother of all inventions, and Dr. Scholl and her family soon understand why Jayde was placed on their star halfway around the world. Jayde’s story is one of love, joy, and perseverance. She has shown others that you can’t label or judge someone because of a diagnosis because where there has been Jayde, there have been miracles.
SoundWrx is for Jayde and everyone else who wants to beat the odds. SoundWrx is by people with hearing loss for people with hearing loss.

Dee Foote & Nancy McMahan
There’s no doubt Soundwrx wouldn’t exist without the help of these two lovely ladies. Not to mention their love, support, and dedication to Dr. Scholl’s daughter, Jayde. Dee has bilateral mild-to-moderate hearing loss & Dr. Scholl met Nancy 20+ years ago when she diagnosed her deaf granddaughter. It was once said that it takes a village and SoundWrx is blessed to have Dee and Nancy as part of the SoundWrx village.
