I wrote about Ear Gear hearing aid retention and protection systems a while ago and noted that if I'd been using them when I was cleaning out my gutters last fall I never would have lost my hearing aid. They are just right not only for kids prone to taking off their expensive aids and leaving them in unlikely locations, but also for active adults who need protection for their hearing aids from sweat and the elements. They even have a model for infants (which Oticon provides for free with its pediatric hearing aids). Now Ear Gear is delivering products designed specifically for new mini-open-fit hearing aids (pictured) as well as for people with cochlear implants. I like Ear Gear not only because it makes good durable products but also because it focuses on fun, colorful designs. And, rather than one size fits all, the company designs different models for different types of hearing aids.
Ear Gear's two latest releases are great examples. Now the swelling ranks of people with miniature behind-the-ear open-fit thin-tube hearing aids can get "Ear Gear Minis," available in square and curved shaped models, that fit perfectly with their hearing aids. And people with cochlear implants can get "Ear Gear Cochlear" to protect their behind-the-ear microphones and sound processors. Ear Gear founder Mark Rosal has had remarkable success in building distribution in a very short time and is now offered by major providers of hearing-aid accessory products such as Westone and Hal-Hen. Ear Gear has some competition from the VanB Enterprises, which makes the popular Hearing-Aid Sweat Bands but doesn't have the variety of models or colors.
