Why hearing-aids can be cool: Eleanor
Lately I've been lucky enough to find different ways to change my hearing aids around, improving my confidence and making me feel good!
The first group I joined was 'Pimp My Hearing Aid' which can be found on facebook by typing 'Pimp my Hearing Aid' or at: http://pimpmyhearingaids.wordpress.com/ .
This inspired me to start putting nail foils on my HAs, at the moment I have some pretty cool gold ones with black tiger stripes on. It's definitely attracted attention - people always tell me how nice they look! :)
The second group/business I found was: http://silverbirchcrafts.co.uk . This is run by Sarah Smith who is a very talented young woman! She makes customised items and my favourite so far has been the Hearing Aid pouches, especially designed to fit your hearing aids to carry around, maybe when you're out swimming or in the shower etc. She's even designed a wristlet which will keep the pouch on you - perfect for a trip to Alton Towers and you're worried about your hearing aids falling out!!
The final group I've literally just found is the: Hearing Aid Headband. You can find them on Facebook or at: http://www.hearingaidheadbands.co.uk . They make headbands which have pouches for the HAs to fit in - great for little ones and they make adults sizes too!
Check them out and feel your confidence grow :)
