Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This invention relates to jewelry that provides decorative functions for hearing aids. [Background technology]

[0002] Previously, hearing aids did not have a decorative function. When people wanted to decorate their ears, the hearing aid and accessories such as earrings had to be separated. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] The problem with most hearing aids currently on the market is that they come in familiar colors and shapes (flesh-colored or transparent), or are designed to resemble earphones, but there are no jewelry-like designs for those who prefer more fashionable items. This invention provides jewelry as a custom part for hearing aids with a variety of combinations of designs, colors, and materials by integrating the functions of hearing aids and accessories. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] The jewelry includes a cover for decorating a hearing aid and a clip for decorating the ear. Effect of the Invention

[0005] As described above, the decorative hearing aid of the present invention not only assists physical functions, but also becomes a fashion item like glasses or jewelry. If the hearing aid is stylish and suits the user's taste, they will want to wear it and it will have the effect of brightening their mood. [Brief description of the drawings]

Also, the front (decorative part) and back of the earlobe are designed to hold the earlobe like a clip to prevent the hearing aid itself from falling off. [Industrial Applicability]
