If you wear cochlear implants—or have a child who does—you know the constant worry.

For me, it showed up while playing tennis: wondering if it would fall off my ear, or if sweat from the Florida heat would get into it. I made the hat to solve those problems, never imagining how many other adults and children would relate. It’s an honor to be able to give something back to the cochlear implant community that understands this journey so well.
