Meet Joss Kendrick, American Girl's latest doll who was born with hearing loss.
American Girl welcomes its newest doll, a surfer and cheerleader named Joss Kendrick, who uses a hearing aid.
“American Girl has a rich legacy of creating timeless characters who encourage girls to reach for new heights and discover who they’re meant to be,” American Girl general manager Jamie Cygielman, said in the release. “We’re proud to welcome Joss Kendrick, whose stories are sure to instill confidence and character in girls who are learning to think about the possibilities in their own lives.
American Girl has sold hearing aids as accessories; however, a company spokesperson tells Yahoo Lifestyle that they have not been included in a doll’s storyline before. The rep also tells Yahoo Lifestyle that unlike Gabriela, 2017's Girl of the Year, who had a stutter, the company took a larger step with Joss, who was born with the disability of congenital hearing loss.

(She, too, is played brilliantly by Winona Ryder: unmoving eyes, mouth in a disapproving half-snarl, taut posture but for her limp, cigarette-holding hand.) Kaysen equates ambivalence with not caring, but Dr. Wick corrects her: it means to care immensely, caught between two poles. “It’s a very big question you’re faced with,” she explains. “How much will you indulge in your flaws? What are your flaws? Are they flaws? If you embrace them, will you commit yourself to a hospital for life?”
