Change your hearing aid decoration as often as you change your clothes or mood!
This listing is for 2 jackets from a choice of two colours shown in the main photo, hand made by me.
Select from pink and brown stripes OR and blue and brown stripes, and matching coils (to fit slim tubes, cordas,wires) are an optional extra for an additional 40p.
Select either two left jackets, two right jackets or a pair (one left and one right)
(Any other colour/pattern designs shown in additional photos are for demonstrative purposes but may be available in other listings)
These jackets are designed to fit the following BTE hearing aids:
Phonak Nathos Micro
Phonak Nios S H20
Phonak Cros H20
Phonak Sky M13
Phonak Bolero M13
They are quick and easy to apply and are removable and reusable.
(Reusable for a limited time depending of wear and tear experienced)
See the photos for instructions and explanations and you will recieve an instructions sheet with your items.
The jackets do not touch the microphones and the battery door is still accessible for battery changes, turning off and overnight airing.
Safety
Not advised for babies or toddlers who could remove them and present a choking hazard.
Allergy advice: These contain glue so caution is advised if you have contact allergies.
These jackets are purely decorative and do not provide any protection from the elements.
I check the fabrics for colour fastness but I am NOT an audiologist so I cannot guarantee the safety of your hearing device. If you are concerned please consult your audiology department .
They are not washable and just like your hearing aid/s you need to keep them dry. If they become damp from perspiration just let them dry then give your hearing aid a gentle wipe. Because the hearing aid jackets are worn close to your body you can decide for yourself when they are no longer fresh enough to keep using.

About decorating hearing equipment
Many people choose to decorate their (or their children's) hearing aids and other hearing assistance devices for many different reasons,
including:
-To make their impairment visible so that others can communicate more effectively
-To promote positive attitudes to disability
-To personalise and coordinate with outfits
-To encourage very young hearing device users to wear theirs
-Because we can and its fun

About me
I am a hearing aid wearer and have enjoyed making these, my own design, so much that I want to share them with other people. I love fabrics and hope to make and sell more of these in lots of different colours and patterns.
For my day job I am lucky to be a teaching assistant supporting children with communication and interaction needs but it doesn't even pay my modest bills. Therefore, in my 'free time' I usually sell used books and toys but I though others may better benefit from me making and selling these hearing aid jackets.
(I'd like to make these for other models of hearing aids but do not have access to many others at the moment. A jacket to fit most Phonak UP models is in progress. If these Phonak jackets prove popular I will try to gain access to other models to design jackets for them too.)
