This Line of Hearing Aids for Kids Features Decorative Designs

Lugs features a large selection of stickers for cochlear implants and hearing aids. The stickers are made from specially cut vinyls, which can be used to instantly improve the look of any device. The stickers feature a number of fun designs and recognizable characters from series such as Hello Kitty, Star Wars, Toy Story and more.
