Rising self-confidence is taking prostheses to another level. People don’t try to hide their handicap anymore.
Show what you‘ve got, don’t make a fuzz about your problem. Wear your hearing aid like a piece of jewelry, a stylish accessory. Be individual, be cool, be yourself.
Hearing aid is made for customers with a medium level of hearing disability. In case of a severe hearing damage one could order the PLUG which contents a more powerful system.
Potentials: Phonak, Kind, Plantronics, Hansaton, Sennheiser, Siemens, Philips, Koss, AKG, Sony

Sehr interessant. gibts davon noch mehr?
Wenn man an den Trend denkt “Inzenierung” und das in einigen Jahren 20% der Jugendlichen eine Hörschwäche haben, wird ein offensiver Umgang mit solchen Medien interessant werden.
Zumindest eine coole Innovation.
Danke für die Inspiration.

a note for the designers: for the sake of practicality, it might be a good idea to have a ‘piercing’ attachment, that makes it able to be worn as an earring instead, if the user so desired. that way you can appeal to a broader audience while still maintaining the plug idea, and still being a single product.

Great job! A less extreme design wouldn’t get near as much attention. You have done a real service to the hearing impaired and the design community too. Some further avenues to explore are cancelling tinnitus, and outputting to the opposite ear or other user interface. I’d be interested in exploring with you…
