Pilot Caps

Two brands have come up many times for parents who need a cap to keep their little one's BTE's on: Hanna Andersen pilot caps, and Silka caps, which were specifically designed to be acoustically transparent.  We used pilot caps when Peter was a baby, and had hearing aids; they were a lifesaver!  The caps keep the baby from pulling things off, which babies just like to do. Peter never pulled his hearing aids out because they were hurting him, but because those silicone ear molds were perfect teethers in his mind. Most expensive teethers ever, not to mention a choking hazard. I have not used the caps since Peter got his CI's, but he doesn't try to eat those (usually...once in a while in the car I have to snatch the coil (headpiece) out of his mouth).

The caps are quite cute, and Silkawear also makes cute headbands as well.

Have you used the caps or the headbands?
