My audiologist has covers for the behind the ear portion of a traditional aid.  They are in many colors.  Pinks to blues.  She says that the kids like this.  She said thaqt they can also protect teh aid --- but more so for the fashion statement.
Diagnosed in fall of 2008 with 1.6 * 2.9cm AN on left side. 

Scheduled CK at Oklahoma Cyber Knife in December, 2008 and decided not to proceede on 2nd date that CK was scheduled.  I fired them.

CK performed at St John's Hospital (Tulsa)Jan 2009

Carter -

I've seen the covers and hear they are extremely popular with young kids and teenagers.

Covers are widely used on Cochlear Implants also - even by adults.

The world of hearing aids is definitely changing.

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

You have to love capitalism!
