This is an amazing thing to do I'm so happy to see this
ThisisRaygun
As someone who was born legally deaf, I really appreciate this and almost cried.

I really hope this takes off, OP! And not just to the front page :)

Course he has a hearing problem he's got toys in there for gods sake
PaleJr
I hope they properly licensed things.

If we can go to an optician and choose glasses from a variety of designs and colors, why shouldn't hearing aids come in different styles?
PlatonicOrgy
This is awesome. We just found out my nephew will need hearing aids and have been worried about how he will adjust
AnnaNimitee
I hope she makes a jillion bucks. I know that's not why she did this, but she certainly deserves it.
frankbarista
This is fucking awesome!!! I hope she wouldnt get sue for copyrights infringement. Please dont sue her!
EneZio
Looks like a good way to get your kid bullied some more
DaveFireBeard
And then she gets sued by all the major corporations that she's (potentially) infringing upon.

I'm an adult who wears hearing aids and I WANT THESE!!!!
stayawhilestayforever
Thought for a second this was Bluetooth for kids
crepeape1234
My 4 yo son wears hearing aids and he would love these. This is really cool.

I interviewed her years ago when she started myluggs. Great idea and a very lovely person. Well done Sarah.

Thank you for sharing this with us. There are some awesome people in this world

Too bad everything still sounds like it's coming directly from Satan's lips
BringitonDingDong
How can hearing aid technology still be this shitty?
kcrvoxtano
What do you mean?
humanmeatshield
As in more compact and discrete?
BringitonDingDong
Yeah :)

Sometimes they drill too far when they put the implant in. #braindamage

Batman one looks dope.......omg...imagine having earbuds with those..... customizable earbuds!!!!!
JudgeRhymehold
Ya know, I'm surprised that isn't more of a thing.
therealpaul9
I suspect it soon will be, like decorated (cat ear etc.) headphones.
ikoart
It is a very much a thing, they make for easy Christmas presents!

I always wondered what the part is that connects the pad up higher on the head but didn't want to ask. Anyone know what it is for?
MrNames
They install a literal magnet inside your skull. I seen a video of a Deaf Guy talking about how he gets stuck to stuff
daJewJitsu
The higher part is for a cochlear implant, which acts as a transmitter/receiver.
Xendrash
I just looked it up, wicked! them kids are cyborgs!

Getting my wife "iPod White" hearing aids instead of "Natural skin color" hearing aids made a significant difference in her self confidence
OSCgal
It's just occurred to me that if glasses can be a fashion accessory, so can hearing aids. Designer colors, c'mon!
vengfish
I can only imagine getting a kid something that would make his peers envious would be 100 times better. And for those wondering...
vengfish
Despite her being legally deaf in both ears, and me having SHLS in one ear, both or our kids have normal hearing, thankfully.
AstralBeast808
Why iPod White? Is it just the color associated with the brand that boosts her self-esteem? Like a sort of status symbol?
vengfish
Because it meant she wasn't trying to hide them and instead looked like an expensive piece of tech that was to be shown off.
battlesword83
Maybe they look like the ipod wireless ear buds, and feels less self conscious if people think they're ear buds instead of hearing aids?
AstralBeast808
I didn't think about that.... All I was imagining were a pair of white iPod headphones. That makes more sense now.
gingerladybug
I'm 26, deaf in one ear, and my wife keeps bugging me to get a hearing aid, but I never wanted to wear one. Maybe now I will.
kcrvoxtano
Lots of research recently re: unilateral loss in adults showing higher rates of depression and other conditions and diseases. Also (1/?)
kcrvoxtano
brain atrophy. Definitely worth looking into. Google "audiologist 'your city.'" Public university-associated clinics are good bets if in US.
Blargish
Yup community audiologists are awesome, and reasonably cheaper compared to going through the regular medical system.
Aadinheals
This is amazing ... my son's wheelchair has been decorated in flames and the kids at school think it's so cool! Moral boost = happy
JoanRiversVagina
That's cute, does he tell everyone he has Hot Wheels?
IAmTheKingOfCheese
Can we get a picture of the chair? Sounds cool... or hot I suppose...
ihatewarmpickles
@aadinshome plz
VelocityofCuriosity
This after all that. I'm nothin but a puddle of tears now.
Aadinheals
No tear puddles it will put out his fire. :D
HungryPumpkn
"Decorated in flames" sounds like you lit your son on fire.
Aadinheals
Picture the hunger games
PuffTart
Pimp my wheelchair
StrokeTheFurryWall
Does he behave with higher integrity after receiving his moral boost?
Aadinheals
He does... plus he wears a monocle.
Placeboy
Not that it really matters, but I think it's spelled morale*
Aadinheals
You are right... I would blame lack of sleep, but I actually am not great at spelling or googling words. :)
justmeyouknow
Im a half Deaf person. And have been useing hearing aid since i Was a kid. And this is an awsome thing to do :D
Wonfis
Which half of you is deaf?
justmeyouknow

ihatewarmpickles

MiaTheScienceLady
Though if there's a fire at school they won't be able to tell if he's safe or not.
Polarisesque
The fire won't get him because the fire will think he is one of them.
theguywiththememes
Fight fire with Fire?
