Some people associate hearing aid devices with a sign of getting old, but the 'OH' looks to end the stigma that can come with the use of the equipment. Designed by Julia Marina Cunha, the 'OH' features the ability to be worn in the ear in different ways, whether as a piece of equipment that sits on top of the ear or on the lobe like a fashion accessory. This makes it suitable for users of all ages and needs, as it ensures they never feel like the equipment means that they have a disability.
The 'OH' hearing aid device acknowledges the need for more stylish health equipment as consumers seek out products that are less clinical than existing options on the market.
