remember his consultant saying he has more problems with adults re hearing aids than children

he is now 24 Valletta so I think he might now get some strange looks if he were to ask for spiderman on his aids , especially as he still loves spiderman

My sons 14 and wears aids. Tried the normal type at age 3'but they didn't work so then had a baha aged about 5 but it keep getting infected , so that was removed and reinserted when he was about 10ish. That again kept getting infected so in December last year he was the first person in the uk to have a new type of baha, there's a magnet inserted into his skull and the aid is on a magnet and it just pops on and off.

He finds it amazing and can even hear thinks like the wind and traffic which he's never heard before.

Good luck, hope she has lots of success

Thanks for your positive story, I'm hoping that it'll give her so much more confidence.

I'm pretty sure her friends will think its cool, I'm just hoping that the other kids do
