is/are beige, what colour would you want (assuming you did not want beige again) next time, and if your hearing aid/s is are not beige now, what colour/s is it/are they and is it/are they your first non-beige ones?
 
I did have black, but had to get more powerful aids. They ended up being beige.

Next time I hope to insist of green, preferably translucent green.
 
Would have loved Translucent Purple as HA but now as CI implantee... i have chosen chocolate brown with different colour microphone covers (pink, purple, blue etc)
 
My first aids were ugly beige and when I found out that there were color options (well after I had been wearing them for a while) I was pretty ticked at my audi! I hate that she assumed I would want boring, ugly beige. I was in my mid-30's when I first started wearing aids's and I would much rather people see them so they know I *really can't hear*! I recently got new pearly pink Epoqs and I love them! I blinged them out by adding Swarski (sp?) crystals to them as well! My 2 girls also have pearly pink Epoqs. You didn't ask about earmolds, but I have clear ear molds with pink glitter. You can't really see the glitter when they are in my ears but it does add just a bit of sparkle!
 
Mine are beige. I don't care for any other color.

From what I've heard from my audiologist, the more common the hearing aid... the more likely more colors are offered. The less common the hearing aid... the less likely more colors are offered.

Since mild hearing loss is very common among older people, they have a line of hearing aids that comes in many double-colors. They have main color and edge/rim colors. They're also very small because there's no need for them to be "powerful" since these people have mild hearing loss.

You are breaking my heart a little here.

I want green!
 
Mine HA's were always boring ugly beige..why everyone goes with beige , I don't know..at high school I wanted an colorful HA, anything than beige but my parents told me that beige was more conspicuous...

When I got CI , I at start chose beige , but as they were backlogged on beige CI's , so they gave me chocolate brown and now I'm really glad to have ended up with chocolate..I was tempted though with a pink one ..LOL...
 
What green... "green" or "forest green" or "lime green"?

Ha, I was tempted with pink one too but chickened out. I am happy with my cadbury's (England's favourtie chocolate) chocolate brown and play with the covers to suit my mood! But they gave me MATT ones.. erruugh! I will take the matt ones back on wednesday and try and get the pearly ones. If not i will try to purchase them through the centre... can't be too expensive.

Had Beige all my life... so boring! was excited when i got my CI like a kid at xmas!! :lol:
