Just For Kids

Having trouble keeping the hearing aid(s) on your little one’s ear? Here are a few suggestions others have used to help:

  • Silkawear is a website that offers a bonnet or hat that helps keep hearing aids from being pulled off. Developed by a mom who has a child who wears hearing aids too
  •  Sometimes a little toupee tape will work as well just to keep the hearing aid on the back of the outer ear but it all depends on the shape and/or size of the child’s ear.
  •  Most hearing aid manufacturers also provide a tether-like clip that will also help keep the hearing devices in.
  •  Otoclips eargear, dino clips and critter clips can also make it fun


Encourage children with hearing loss to identify their own strengths and needs. Students who can ask for assistance when necessary and proactively seek reasonable accommodations will serve themselves well in school and their future. Teachers need to be sensitive to a student’s level of comfort with regard to self-advocacy and may need to give some children phrases or strategies to use during stressful times. Some of these include:

  •  “Please repeat the last part of the directions.”
  • “There’s a lot of noise in the hallway, could you please close the door?”
  • “I missed what Sam just said. Could you repeat it?”
  • “It really helps me understand you better when I can see your face.”
