Cochlear Implant Comfort Headband by HearBand - Makes Your Implants More Comfortable and Secure - for Kids and Adults (Black)

Product Information

But hearing aids only help if you still have some hearing left, so do not put off getting help if your hearing is getting worse. How to get hearing aids Many families have come up with creative ways to modify headbands and accessories to help their little ones keep hearing aids and cochlear implants on and in place. Headbands are one option that help keep devices secure on younger and older active children. Most headbands are made of a stretchy material with small loops that hold the hearing aids and cochlear implants in place by the child’s ears. Here are some examples of different headband styles. As you will see, they are appropriate for younger and older children. One of the methods that can help to improve sensory sensitivity is based on ‘de-sensitisation’. This means that we can help your child to feel more comfortable being touched on the head and ears and so they become more accepting of having items put there, such as their hearing device. The earlier you get them, the more you'll get out of them – so do not wait until your hearing gets really bad before seeing a GP. Benefits of hearing aids

Washing Q. How do I wash my items? The waiting time for getting a hearing aid on the NHS can sometimes be longer than the wait for private treatment. Paying for hearing aids

When your hearing aid is ready, it will be programmed to suit your level of hearing loss. You'll be shown how to use it and how to look after it. This is often due to sensory sensitivity – that is not liking the feeling of having anything on their head such as a hat or hair clip, or wanting anything touching their head and hair, for instance, brushing or washing. This sensitivity can affect how they cope with hearing devices so they become anxious and even ‘fearful’ of them. Some types may be available to use straight away. Others may need to be custom made after your ear has been measured or a cast of your ear has been taken. These will usually be ready in a few weeks.
