CES 2009 New Hearing Aid Makes a Fashion Statement Users Can

CES 2009 New Hearing Aid Makes a Fashion Statement Users Can Change the Look to Suit Their Style Eyeglasses have long been considered a fashion accessory, but until recently hearing aids were something to hide. Now, a new hearing device allows users to join the growing trend. Traditionally, hearing aids have been hidden behind the ear or made in flesh-colored tones. But, the latest devices are an expression of personality. The “Vibe,” a mini hearing aid worn outside the ear, can be used as fashion accessory. It comes in a wide range of plastic covers — allowing its look to be changed each day to match the wearer’s style. Other benefits include the latest in advanced signal processing and amplification technologies. It can also be worn with a cycling helmet and doesn’t interfere with wearing glasses — or get caught in your hair.

    wat is it you have the coclear implant or the normal hearing aids?
    ahhhh dont be so upset about it :)

    Ohh I’m not upset…. but like yasamih said… it is wayyyy OVERPRICED! I agree with her 100000% They shouldn’t make it so friggin pricey! Most deaf/hard of hearing can’t afford that unless they are stinky wealthy and have you heard of a wealthy deaf person? I certainly haven’t.

  7. DEVIMON111213 says:

    i think this is a hearing aid for mild to moderate hearing loss… i dnt think this is powerful enough for severe and profound…

    @deafgagirl They are expensive but what would you pay to get your hearing back? Is your hearing worth $5, $500, or $5000. Like all things there are cheap hearing aids on the market and very expensive hearing aids. My advise is buy the best hearing technology you can afford.

  9. deafgagirl says:

    Aaron8680: I have the most expensive hearing aid and it cose me $2300.00 .. No kidding. But what good does it do to wear a expensive hearing aid when it is not cover by insurance in case it breaks? That is anotehr story, I;m afraid.
