Yep. Or maybe she just doesn't give a dang if it shows or not. (BTW, the beige and darker colors were meant to match skin tone, not hair color.)
I always thought the opposite was true since because there are various colors to match hair color not skin color. Example, no one has gray skin or white skin, so I thought it was meant to coordinate with hair colors.
Vampy,
With Advanced Bionics, the caps for the headpiece alone already comes with different colored caps whether or not you use it, so we do not have to pay more money for different headpiece caps. The BTE color itself is not interchangable for my BTE type. I don't know about the Harmony BTE because I don't have that one.
Mine is beige because since my hair is short, I don't want the appearance of it extending over my ear, so I chose one close to my skin color. The woman was probably thinking the same.
She had short hair, but the headpiece and cable stood out on her head behind, so it didn't make sense. I think her BTE was pretty much covered since even though her hair is short, but long enough on the sides to cover her BTE....does the Nucleus come with gray, brown, beige headpiece?
I understand if like the BTE is the skin color and headpiece plus cable the color of your hair if your hair is very short, but it didn't make sense with the woman I saw. It stood out very much. I don't think she cared cause she seemed to have just popped on her BTE on top of her hair without bothering to cover it.
Sometimes I wonder if people are not informed about the colors or if they haven't gotten feedback from others if it blends as they want it to or not. I don't know, but I know some people really want to stand out if they choose like a colored BTE. I wouldn't think they are trying to stand out with a beige or brown colored BTE because they are pretty standard colors.
