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…

Bloody hell,

I was developing a similar concept last year and had to put on stand bye because of my current job and I can see someone is moving forward!!!

@ JAN ich glaube eher das das nicht für “normale menschen mit normalen ohren” ist sondern für leute die ihre ohren schon geweitet haben … wenn man nachdenken würde könnte man sowas vielleicht rausbekommen !!

While we are trying to kick-start a revolution in the hearing industry, we are not this cutting edge.

Our angle is to provide high quality, name brand hearing aids, and quality service at an affordable price.

However, this is a great concept and removing the stigma typically associated with hearing loss will go a long way in encouraging the millions who suffer with their condition to seek treatment.

Being deaf and having plugs myself I would love to own one of these.I’ve been deaf almost all my life and haven’t worn my hearing aid in 4years as I was always self conscious about the way I looked but I would really love to try these out

It’s really, really great to see a genuinely groundbreaking hearing aid design; even if I do hate those lobe-expander earrings!

Making hearing aids socially acceptable and removing any stigma that people have of wearing them is a big problem and products like this would definitely help to give aids a bit more of a cool factor.

[...] Ear Plug Hearing Aid I came across this site while searching for images of stylish hearing aid users in a picture that actually SHOWS the person wearing the hearing aid, not just smiling. At first I thought this was a real hearing aid made by a real company just by looking at the picture. Well, it’s not in production yet, but there’s no reason why it can’t be one day. Hopefully this idea takes off and people into ear plugs can get custom made hearing aids to go with their look! [...]

great design!
is it battery operated? it’d be cool if you could have a kinetic charger inside the ring, similar to some watches. so that the device charges up whenever you shake your head (clubs, concerts)… or have a solar-powered feature (cool, shiny solar panel disc inside the ring.

anyways, good job… and good segway into a recent article i wrote about “why we get a kick out of loud music”: http://audicus.wordpress.com/

I’m currently at Gauge 4, and I will continue to go bigger if these are actually made. I have moderate hearing loss, and these are AWESOME! I want!

When will this concept be a reality? And what is the size range that will be available for these plugs? I’m extremely interested in this product. Please respond.

I love this concept. I’m looking for a hearing aid for my left ear that has a 0 gauge piercing in it already. Please, will this ever be a reality? And in my gauge size? This concept has been the only design that has piqued my interest in any hearing aid for my age and style and made me less depressed on the ‘stigma’ of becoming deaf. Please let me know any information.

Awesome! I am looking forward to the day when there is a multitude of design options for hearing aid wearers of all styles. You should be able to flaunt and be proud of your hearing aids, much as you would with a pair of designer glasses that helped you complete the visual statement of who you are.

What an amazing idea truly!

I am hearing impaired and my ears are stretched and I truly wanna cry and hug the genius for coming up with this. I would like to have a pair of these! <3

I would buy this,but would in come in different sizes?

The loss of hearing that is left unmanaged can lead to other well-documented issues such as social exemption and reduced connections with others, thoughts of anxiety, fear or even depression; all causing reduced lifestyle.

This design is amazing. Is it a real product, yet? I would definitely be interested in buying this.

Wow! I have patients I know would be interested in this device!!

This is awesome! It would be cool to if the speaker cone was the plug itself – though I don’t thing it would result in great audio quality….

Is there a way I can get a pair of these for regular headphones, in a 5/8ths guage? I’m a CODA, but not deaf (both of my parents are Deaf, and do not use hearing aids). Regardless, this appeals to me for when I play music on stage. If there’s a way that these can be used as wireless headphones, I would LOVE to arrange something with your company to make this a reality, and would GLADLY endorse it in any way I can. I hope to hear from you soon. These are seriously CLEVER! Thanks for your time.

I would love to buy this!!!
