Hearing Aid Sun Hat | for Deaf / Hard of Hearing kids

Choose size by head circumference measurement rather than age for the best fit. Every child's head size and shape is different, so measuring is the most reliable guide.

• Small: 6-18 months - approximately 46-50cm head circumference
• Medium: 2-4 years - approximately 50-54cm head circumference

How to measure: Use a soft tape measure and wrap it around the widest part of your child's head, just above the ears and across the forehead. Note the measurement in centimetres and match to the size guide above.

We have done our best to provide accurate measurements, however if the size is not right for your child please see our size exchange and returns policy below.

Every child's head shape and size is different. If the fit feels a little loose, some parents have found that folding the mesh ear coverings in by 1 - 2 cm can provide a more secure and comfortable fit.

If you have tried the hat on your child and it is not the right fit, we accept returns on Hearing Aid Bucket Hats for a size exchange or refund.

To be eligible for a return, the hat must:

• Have its original tags attached
• Be in perfect, original and unused condition

To get started, complete the returns form below. It is the customer's responsibility to send the hat back to The Sensory Specialist. Once we receive it and have reviewed its condition for quality purposes, we will contact you with the next step.
