My last pair were sort of flesh/tan. The latest are what I believe is called champagne. I told the Audiologist I didn’t care what color they were. I often lift one up to show people I am wearing aids, but it doesn’t make them speak any clearer. I have had people who have been around me for a while seem surprised that I was even wearing aids. Most people aren’t observant at all.

I got my brother a Phonak Naida Paradise graphite grey, as he already have an Oticon Agil Pro miniRite silver grey, so I wan it something that could stand out and still in the grey. (he didn’t like it especially the the big chunky ):

My More1 aids are steel metal gray. Which match my ear pieces of my glasses

My first pair were black & silver two tone. My current pair are graphite - two tone was not an option. I have a buzz cut, so there is no hiding them. If I went in the ear, I would want a clear case to show off the insides.

I went with black. They semi-match the frames of my glasses, but was not concerned with hiding them. Just figured they would look better than the bandaid colored ones.

“CadaverCaramel®️

LOVE the name!!!

I always had grey, or black to match my hair and glasses until my latest aids…

My Audi commented that my black colored ’s were too dark and asked which color I wanted. I asked for grey, she walked behind me touched the hair around my ears and said I didn’t have enough hair for grey aids so she’s ordering flesh color, which is the aforementioned CadaverCaramel®️

I prefer red or even red-white-n-blue if possible, but only if the shell of the aids are manufactured in those colors. I don’t want something applied to the outside of my aids.

I think if I we’re getting them today I’d go with black. I shave everything on my head except eyebrows most days. But I’m not hiding anything on my ears…

I wore red for some 10 years. No one ever commented, tho I expected them too–and I wanted to have talks about being . Now I’m wearing a very visible, wired, ‘hearable’. People must think I’m listening to music or podcasts, b/c no one gives me any kind of “what’s with you?” look–just converse as normal. And I talk to a lot of strangers in daily life.

I’m surprised how many people I interact with, mostly at work, that don’t notice my aids (silver aids w/grey hair). Some I have worked with for years and I will mention my aids and they are surprised and do a double take and say, “I never noticed before”. I always assumed everyone noticed.

Phonak Champagne here, not because I wished to conceal them, it just looked a suitable colour that blended in. Same effect as concealing but not how I would have said that was what I was doing.

There are one or two people in my club who are demonstrably hard of hearing Despite! wearing aids.

I might choose that if I was doing it again today. I got champagne. Because I told the audiologist I didn’t care, pick one for me. They all looked boring.
