We’ve teamed up with international fashion designer, Jenni Ahtiainen, founder of Deafmetal®, to launch a hearing-aid-friendly jewellery collection in support of LoveYourEars.
Encouraging people to feel good about their hearing aids is only part of the LoveYourEars mission, as designer Jenni explains:
"When Audika approached me to collaborate on tackling stigma around hearing loss, I was excited by their vision. We don't shy away from getting our eyes tested and wearing glasses if we can't see, but that's still not the case with hearing.
"Addressing a hearing problem has been proven to improve quality of life and reduce the risk of other health issues. LoveYourEars is about making hearing loss more visible and raising awareness of this important public health message."
When our eyesight changes, we can choose a designer pair of glasses. And similarly, the six-piece LoveYourEars jewellery collection gives those with hearing loss a new way to express themselves.
Our LoveYourEars Collection has been created to normalise and celebrate the wearing of hearing aids in everyday life by helping you match them to your style.
Each piece uses an innovative, hypoallergenic, silicone holster that is stretched around your behind-the-ear hearing aid. The clever design not only looks good, but it also helps to secure your hearing device in place too. Each piece is sold as a pair, with clear holsters included.
Prices start from £55.

Check that your hearing aid and Holster are clean. If the silicone surface of the Holster seems greasy, wash it with soap and water. Then dry it well with a towel.
Adjust the Holster carefully around your hearing aid. Don't tear the silicone with your nails or hearing aid buttons and don't overstretch the Holster; it can break easily. Take care not to cover the microphones of your aids.
Attach the lock on the safety chain to the Holster and position your hearing aid in your ear. Attach the jewellery chain from the Holster to your ear piercing. That's it, let's Deafmetal!
