If you could find those baby head bands you could try using those to keep

the hearing aids on.

Jeff we had very good luck with " Critter Clips " when Kennedy was a baby.

They make a hearing aid clip with two strings attached for both hearing

aids, as well as individual ones. We found that putting an individual one

on each aid worked much better than the single clip with two attached

strings. We found the single clip with two strings came off more. The two

singles worked a lot better and stayed on much better. You can see them

or ask your audiologist.

Jeff,

We also used the " critter clips " although in our case the cute little

critter part fell off shortly after purchasing - but the clip worked

well for us. We used one string with two loops, one clip.

But I must share a recent story of hearing aids at our house. Last week

Cameron handed me his hearing aids because he and his brother were

listening to music and it was too loud with his aids. So I put them in

my pocket only to later lose one. Talk about panic. It's his first pair

which were covered by some federal grant money but to replace one would

be well over $1000. I scoured the house and worried for a full day

before finally finding it in the kitchen garbage - still can't figure

out how I managed that, but grateful I dug through it before putting it

out on the curb. So, my darling husband suggests that perhaps we start

using the clip with Cameron again. I had to gently remind him that

Cameron didn't misplace the hearing aid, I did. Perhaps I need the clip! LOL

Best of luck!

Thanks for all the advice. We had seen the critter clips but wanted

to get advice on options first.

So far my most forgetful moment was when I did not put a battery in my

daughter's aide one morning and did not realize it until we took them

off that night. At 9 months, she couldn't tell us it was not working,

although she seemed to nap better that day. ;-)
