Summer hearing aid fashion opens up a world of possibilities for aligning your individual style with your hearing devices. As the season brings about a burst of vibrant colors and breezy fashion trends, your choice of hearing aid can seamlessly integrate with your summer look. With a plethora of options available, you can select a hearing aid that not only enhances your hearing experience but also complements your wardrobe choices.
Whether you’re drawn to the elegance of neutral tones or the vibrancy of bold shades, there’s a spectrum of colors to choose from. You can opt for a hearing aid that seamlessly blends with your outfit or adds a pop of contrast for a chic ensemble. The diversity in hearing aid designs caters to various preferences – from those who prefer sleek and discreet models to those who embrace unique and eye-catching styles.
Choosing a hearing aid that resonates with your personal fashion choices isn’t just about aesthetics – it’s about expressing your identity confidently. With summer hearing aid fashion, you can feel empowered to step out with a device that not only empowers you with better hearing but also reflects your sense of style. Embrace the season’s warmth and joy by harmonizing your auditory well-being with your fashion preferences.
Choose A Smaller Device
Historically, manufacturers focused on including as many functions in their devices as possible. How they looked wasn’t much of a consideration. However, as electronics and technology advanced, things changed. Brands began miniaturizing hearing aid components, letting them fit more features on smaller devices. This process opened up entirely new technologies. Manufacturers began constructing devices without external components that fit discreetly in the ear canal. They also perfected matching the color of the mold to the wearer’s skin tone using advanced plastics.
The result was a more fashionable – even invisible – device for those who want it. Modern in-the-ear (ITE) devices are hard to see from the outside yet still provide the same high level of application as traditional behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids.
Choose A Fashionable Device
Of course, you don’t have to hide your hearing aids to be fashionable. In fact, some people don’t want to hide their devices at all. Instead, they see them as fashionable accessories they can customize to get the look they want for summer.
For instance, many hearing aid manufacturers now decorate their units to make them more visually appealing, particularly for children, despite being medical devices. Bright colors and unique designs make them more visually attractive, letting you match them with your outfits. Manufacturers are experimenting with luminous elements, various color tones, artistic patterns and LEDs on devices to make them stand out.
Embellish Your Hearing Aid
Even if your hearing aid looks like a standard unit, you can embellish it with artistic flourishes whenever you want. Adding sequins and jewels helps to add charm and beauty to the device. If you have an external hearing aid, you can add attachments that dangle past the ear lobe and look like earrings. These products are beautiful and eliminate the need for any separate jewelry.
You can also fit small charms to your hearing aids, as long as they don’t interfere with the device’s operation. Many of these have small sticky pads you can fix to the casing and come in handy multi-packs, letting you decorate your hearing aid how you want.
Keep it Clean and Dry
Another great way to match your hearing aid style to your summer fashion is to keep it clean and dry. Ensuring it looks its best is a great way to create beautiful outfits people will want to copy.
Keeping your hearing aid clean and dry in the summer is pretty straightforward. Make sure that you:
- Apply sunscreen and hair spray before putting your hearing aids on
- Keep them out of the sea or the swimming pool (even if they are water-resistant)
- Store them in a cool, dry place (such as a box with a dehumidification function)
- Keep them away from sweat and sand
- Prevent exposure to direct sunlight that could cause components to overheat, such as the battery
- Clean regularly with a soft cloth but don’t use alcohol or water
Audiologists often provide professional cleaning services for hearing aids. These involve removing debris from the exterior and interior components.
Wear Your Hair Up
A final way to match summer hearing aid fashion to your outfits is to wear your hair up. Off-the-ear styles let people see your hearing aids, helping them act as accessories. Options include ponytails, sleek updos, crown braids and pigtails.
