Do you mean covering your or do you mean how do you manage your hair around your aids?

I put my aids in first while I keep my hair out of the way. I have mini style HA’s. I then carefully push my hair back and away from my ear to make sure mone of my hair is caught by the HA’s.

Now if you’re talking about covering your HA’s with hair, I do the above first, then I carefully let my hair fall over my ears. You have to be careful when brushing around your hair while HA’s are in place.

It also depends on if you have long or short hair and the type of hearing aid you are using.

I’m not entirely sure if you’re actually serious or possibly English as a second language. There are no "invisible type"s. debbie_o has otherwise explained the options.
If you have no hair then any and all hearing aids will have some visibility.

Yeah you are right I am little bit in English. I have natural hair but whenever i wear ha it seems to me hesitating. That is why I am searching of stickers like hair to overlap ha.
Or any other cosmetic surgery type to hide only bte ha.

What’s the worse “stigma”…pardon me, excuse me, what’s that, repeat that, say again, I didn’t catch that, what did you say, huh?..or the possibility that at just the right angle someone might see that you’re doing something for yourself to lessen the frequency of those requests?
Or to lessen the volume of the amplification of sounds being shared with others.

I’ll admit to a bit of vanity initially and so I chose black ’s as I still have my dark brown hair. Not very long but certainly to the shape of my ears as I have done so for most of my life. But the ears themselves are visible and thus the little tubes coming down into the canal. I don’t think the casing resting on top is very visible though. But then I’ve also gotten over the vanity part for the most part. I’ve only been wearing them since the Spring of this year.

Yep, that’s why hearing aids are made in different colors. However, what’s with the royal blue Oticon OPN? The audi usually gives you a display with all the colors on it. He told me people tend to match to hair color or skin tone. If they wanted to liven the aids up with color choices, they could add pink, purple, yellow, etc. I think those would be fun!

Seriously though, I’m proud of my blue frame glasses that help me see better, my pink insulin pump that helps me to live, and my beige ’s that help me to hear better. If anyone thinks HA’s are an old person thing or has a problem, that’s their issue. Let them walk in our shoes, maybe they would have a different mindset.

That’s a thing!? Crap! Can anyone else here say that they’ve experienced or heard of anyone having their ’s pulled off their head by some snatcher!?
Don’t use a then. There are the entirely in the ear canal type HA’s. Not sure of the TLA. They’re still visible if one were to look hard enough but would be a lot harder to steal.

KenP: I have been wondering. He seems to be ESL so he could be saying things a little differently. It seemed he was sincerely concerned about his vanity. Sure. Ok. Probably we all start out that way. But then now theft?! I don’t know. Maybe he enjoys yanking chains.
Zebras below has set me straight.
Wow!

Z10user2 and kenp: you have never ever been in the crowded places such as India. And we heard news daily of chain snatching cases on the road.

If you mean hearing aids then carefully sweep your hair behind your ears so that it does not get caught in the mess.

This being said, I have a question to ask. I hope I am asking in the right place since I did not find any thread regarding my question.

I recently went through otoplasty from an aesthetic clinic4 and I was wondering as to how long should I wait before I can wear my hearing aids again.
Since I am really dependent on the hearing aids, I want to use them as soon as possible and on the other hand I don’t want to rush and ruin the surgery.

Any advice would be deeply appreciated!!
Thank you.

You need to get medical advice from the people who did the procedure.
