I use some oticon opn s series hearing aids as open hearing headphones. We need this to become cheaper and more ubiquitous as hearing aids provide open hearing and quiet sound without people necessarily even being aware that you have electronic music going on

The hearing deficient kid I know is paranoid about getting his head wet. His parents, who are pretty well off, sent him the wrong messages about protecting his extremely expensive hearing aids when he was young and he developed a complex about it. If they were as cheap as retainers I think he’d enjoy swimming, but as things stand he’d rather eat bugs.
