Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal signed legislation Monday, May 8, requiring insurance companies to cover hearing aids for children after a long, difficult effort by two mothers to make such health insurance coverage standard.

Sara Kogon and Kelly Jenkins, both of whom have hearing-impaired children, struggled for more than six years to enact a law to help kids like theirs.
