Have them look like earings with dangling charms that fit your outfit!

Althought I personally like the ones that highlight the aid! Letting them be accessories and making ppl look at them and acknowledge them is very Startrek to me (which I love)

And who doesn't love elf ears???!!
Hope this inspires you. I am hunting down a diy tutorial on how to make it but given how expensive aids are I wouldn't feel comfy advocating for it quite yet until further research. Until then tho, start brainstorming and sketching ideas at least!

[Edit: I no longer stand by this post. You can look at my later comments on it here to see why.]
What the hell is it with some hearing people with auditory processing disorder claiming that it makes them deaf/HoH?
I mean the issues with that idea seem so obvious on its face that no one should be able to make this mistake, or at least should be able to see the error once it has been pointed out.
You can be both but having auditory processing disorder in no way makes you deaf/HoH.
Trust me, I know that audio processing disorder is a disability, but that does not make that claim any less ableist.
I would like to think that none of these people have ever interacted with a deaf/HoH person, but I know better than to think that.

If you're the one in every ten adults who experiences incessant ringing in your ears, you already know how disruptive tinnitus can be. A new study led by researchers from Massachusetts Eye and Ear has uncovered evidence of this phantom noise being generated by hyperactive nerves the nervous system can no longer tune out. As widespread as it is, tinnitus has long remained a medical mystery, but now researchers have tracked down evidence that supports a leading theory of the origins of that pesky buzz. A quick explainer for those who haven't experienced it – around 10 to 15 percent of adults worldwide hear a ringing, roaring, or buzzing sound from within their ears known as tinnitus. For some, it comes and goes. For others, it is persistent, being considered chronic if it lasts for more than three months. Tinnitus is usually associated with some kind of ear disturbance, such as noise exposure, hearing loss, injury, blockage, or infection. It can also affect people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or hearing impaired. "Beyond the nuisance of having persistent ringing or other sounds in the ears, tinnitus symptoms are debilitating in many patients, causing sleep deprivation, social isolation, anxiety, and depression, adversely affecting work performance, and reducing significantly their quality of life," says auditory physiologist Stéphane Maison from Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, who was part of the research team.

For example, someone would vote yes if they're right handed and hear sounds louder/clearer from the right ear.

A question for other disabled humans out there. Do you ever have so many health issues that you feel like everyone you tell doesn’t believe you because it’s just health issue after health issue, etc. and it feels like they think it’s for attention.
Example: I’ve always had migraine and chronic fatigue, then it was hearing loss, now it’s probably neuropathy. I need hearing aids and now am seriously considering a cane but my internalized ableism and the judgment from my parent makes it nearly impossible to justify getting a cane. I feel like everyone thinks I’m just disabled for attention which sounds stupid but anyways does anyone feel this way?

does anyone elses hearing ability fluctuate with their fatigue level?
Cause I've noticed when I'm really fatigued I have to turn down the volume of anything I'm listening to cause the normal volume hurts my ears. But when I have more energy I suddenly can't hear at those lower volumes??? (well specifically my audio processing issues act up) It's kinda annoying you know?

If we observe how in embryonic development an organism is gradually created out of the liquid, our attention is drawn to movements which play their part in fashioning it according to invisible plans, though they are themselves not all visible in the finished form. They are like the hands of the potter in their abundance of possibilities, moulding a vessel from without and within and then withdrawing again into the invisible world. They are movements which originate in the will and spirit of a living being. As movements they are actually the creative and formative forces through which the idea underlying the forms can be impressed on the elements. Once this has been accomplished, the creative movement releases the form and appears in it as a function, of which the embodied being may now make use.

“You can actually estimate the movement of the eyes, the position of the target that the eyes are going to look at, just from recordings made with a microphone in the ear canal,” says senior study author Jennifer Groh, a professor in the departments of psychology and neuroscience and neurobiology at Duke University. In 2018, Groh’s team discovered that the ears make a subtle, imperceptible noise when the eyes move. In the new study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the team now shows that these sounds can reveal where your eyes are looking. It also works the other way around. Just by knowing where someone is looking, Groh and her team were able to predict what the waveform of the subtle ear sound would look like. These sounds, Groh believes, may be caused when eye movements stimulate the brain to contract either middle ear muscles, which typically help dampen loud sounds, or the hair cells that help amplify quiet sounds. The exact purpose of these ear squeaks is unclear, but Groh’s initial hunch is that it might help sharpen people’s perception.

Hi Pixie! I love your blog and I would like to ask a question.
When someone talks to Pixie, does it help Pixie to understand more when the person speaks more slowly and clearer? Or does it not make a difference? When it's a voice Pixie doesn't know, does it help at all?
Thank you Pixie!
other than Having more hard time understand stranger voices, Pixie not know why some voices so much more hard for to Pixie understand .
Some voices stay hard to understand even if Pixie hear that voice every day .
and
Some voices Be okay can understand even if is voice Pixie not hear much .
Pixie not understand at all why . Maybe be guardian Wizard know why . Pixie can ask later, if not forget .

A friend of mine sent me this great quiz that's linked to a research project on how we perceive sounds compared to how various other animals hear them. I took it this morning and ended up aligning with frogs, so I guess I'll wear my "Honorary Amphibian" hat from Willapa NWR with extra pride.
Tag yourself with your result!
