Will a hearing aid change my looks?

Hearing aids are amazing devices that can transform your life. So, why put off wearing one? They have come such a long way in how they perform, as well as how they look and fit into your ear – it’s truly incredible.

Our behind-the-ear hearing aids virtually disappear once in your ears. They fit well with glasses and won’t ‘push your ears out’ as some might think! Many people wear glasses with hearing aids with no problems at all.

Some of us embrace our hearing aids, while others want a more discreet option that can be hidden. If that’s you, choose a colour close to your hair colour, so it can blend in. This applies to the body of the device that sits behind the ear, while the fine wire is clear and runs along the side of the ear into the canal. All in all, it’s a virtually invisible set-up and likely would only be spotted by someone actively looking.

Alternatively, for people who wear glasses, many of them match their hearing aid colour to that of their frames.

What’s worse? Having to struggle in a social setting? Or wearing a very discreet hearing aid and enjoying life? It’s an easy choice!
