Unlike glasses, hearing aids have never been fashionable. So it follows that the trend in hearing aid design has been to make them more invisible, which feeds the stigma around hearing aids even more.
To shift this perception, we collaborated with jewellery designers to create a range of designer hearing aids. The range was launched at a charity event with models with a hearing impairment and the pieces auctioned off. We raised much needed funds for Telethon Speech & Hearing and helped fight the stigma people with a hearing impairment face everyday.
