Edith,

Toupe tape. The kind men use to keep their toupes on. Other parents of

little ones have spoken highly of it. Plus there are other hats and things that

have worked, but I'm not the one to give this advice. I didn't have a little one

with aids.

We learned of Ian's loss when he was about 7. He was so thrilled to get his

aids that our problem was getting him to take them out, not how to keep them

in.

HI - I remember a thread quite awhile back where they talked

about hearing aids for American Girl dolls. Of course I can't remember

all the details (especially since I'm the only girl in the house!), but

it seems like it was on Listen-up? Kay, if you're reading this, I know

you'll remember! It seemed cool if you had a daughter with that doll.

morning so I wait until after he eats. Jakob just got new earmolds so they fit

tighter and he is constantly touching his ears molds.

I can use them for related supplies. I'm sure we will have a need for the

toupee tape, but even more basic is getting kids to keep the ear mold in the

ear. Super glue??? Just kidding...I know in my head it just takes time and a

zillion attempts to get the girls to keep them in, but we are only on 1001 tries

so far! We'll keep at it, though.

Great idea on the pretend aids for toys. Maybe I need to make one for my son,

as he feels left out when the girls get to wear their 'earrings'! Thanks.

I ordered a set of hearing aids for a doll from www.lakeshorelearning.com when

le was a baby and we battled with keeping her hearing aids in. They were

made for the doll they sell, but we were able to use Velcro on them and attach

them to her doll. We ordered glasses for her doll too, since that was another

battle we had. Every morning we would put the doll's hearing aids on first,

then put le's in. At night we would remove the doll's aids and put them

in the box and then le's aids. Hope this helps.
