White hearing aids

ipod_budsHearing aids come in lots of cool colours and shapes these days but I’ve never seen a pure white one.

White hearing aids would look quite a bit like iPod earphones and would maybe help to give them that cool factor? Everywhere you look these days someone has a pair of white buds in so it’s not unusual to see people with things in their ears.

Possibly manufacturers are worried about a lawsuit from Apple?

If someone did make a white hearing aid then how about taking it a step further and doing some kind of joint branding with Apple? That would be cool, especially if you could stream music from your iPod wirelessly straight to your aids.

  1. There are white hearing aids available from a number of sources and there are hearing aids that you can “bluetooth” your iPod through [and your cell phone]. For example: checkout Siemens Pure and Resound Dot. Comparatively they would cost you less than a daily cup of Costa Cappuccino.

  2. When I chose my cochlear implant last week, they had a white one, which looked fabulous. I was very very tempted!

    I use an FM EasyLink with my hearing aids, and it allows me to listen wirelessly to my ipod..
    I use the adaptor insert that comes with it, and you use the cords they sent with you, however I lost mine, so a cheap audio cable from the dollar store took it’s place. Couldn’t be easier.
