Once I spent hours looking unsuccessfully for one hearing aid that went AWOL while my daughter's new puppy was visiting. We finally decided the puppy must have eaten it. My daughter wasn't too happy about having to check every bit of puppy poop for a $1500 hearing aid! Not that the hearing aid would have worked upon its exit from the cute canine. But the VA wouldn't replace a lost hearing aid, they said they would only replace a damaged one.
Lucky for my daughter (and the audiologist at the VA!), I happened to find the hearing aid shortly after, in the crevice of the seat of the car, sans puppy poop.
So, avoiding hearing aid disappearances was the goal. After searching for possible container solutions that would fit my dad's needs, and coming up empty, I went to the art supply store. I'm an art educator, I should have known to try that first!
This little wood container works just fine, it's 3.5" wide x 6" long x 2" high. I glued colored felt inside (Red for Right, of course.)
What a great project this would be for Scouts or for church bazaars. It sure has made life easier for Dad! And making it (including buying the supplies) took less time than I spent trying to find something ready-made that would do the job.
Here are the instructions, in case you have a loved one who needs one:
