Love the photo. Mice are close enough to one of my favorite pets - rats 
. Some things I've learned:
1. My hair is long and thick and god knows I need a hair cut but that will come later when it begins to warm up.
2. With my first magnet, I automatically put both hands by my ears thinking the magnet was going to drop - the winds were gusty enough. Sure enough, the magnet fell into my hand. Went back to the audiologist and had the magnets increased.
2a. The stronger magnets caused my head to become sore pretty quickly and couldn't remain this way even though I felt safer.
Thus far, we've had the same experience.
3. I suggested shaving a small portion of my head BUT the audiologist said the short hairs would cause more of a problem for the magnet, so that wasn't a solution. I would imagine that's kind of what a pixie cut would do.
My hair is thick and I just have to keep pushing my hair up and away then I put on the magnet and it holds.
Sometimes the processor behind my hear would fall off (the implant is thick and I have a lump on my head) and it almost seemed like it was hitting the magnet, so I got a 12" cable and had my partner hold back my hair on the other side of my head and I put the processor there and left the magnet alone. This stopped all problems pronto. I can also put the processor in a plastic clip and leave it under my shirt to wear it. People would likely say it interferes with the sound but it doesn't and it doesn't hit or pull on the magnet. This works well, too.
My goal: pull back my endless hair with some help sometimes and keep the processor and magnet separate.
