After doing some research and talking with my families and friends. I came up with an idea to make a "fashionable hearing aid". I got this idea from my grandmother's hearing problem. She is not deaf, but she has a partial hearing impairment, she can still hear, but she is unable to hear some frequencies of sound. So when i talked to her, i need to be extremely close to her in order to communicate with her. She has a hearing aid, but the problem is that she really often forget to wear that, instead she never forget to wear her earrings. I never saw her not wearing any earrings, but i really often unable to communicate with her well. Even though she is eighty year old, but she still concern so much about her appearance, so that she never forget to wear her earrings. But with the hearing aid, the problem is that her memory is not as good as us and due to its relatively small size she always forget that, second she does not want to look like a disable person by wearing that.
So my solution is to make a hearing aid earrings that does not look like a hearing aid at all and embodies function and fashion. By combining two things into one thing, it means that it reduce the number of things that my grandmother or other elderly should remember, secondly it looks more attractive. Thus they will have less probability to forget to wear the hearing aid.
