We know the struggles of keeping hearing devices on babies and toddlers. The pilot cap (or hearing aid hat) is the perfect solution to prevent your child from attempting to remove their hearing aids.
The hearing aid pilot cap keeps your child's hearing aid in place - allowing for optimum hearing, while reducing the risk of a lost hearing aid or any potential choking hazards.
The Hearing Aid Pilot Cap is made of a soft stretchy fabric to keep your child's hearing aid gently in place, ensuring it stays put during playdates, childcare and adventures galore. The adjustable chin strap (3 snap closures) guarantees a personalized fit - so your little superstar can dance, explore, and imagine with sheer confidence.
As all children are different, we recommend choosing the size of the pilot cap based on the measurements of your child's head circumference rather than their age.
It is also important to note that your children's ears and hearing aids need to be kept clean at all times. We also know that child's play is messy! We suggest purchasing at least two pilot caps so that you have a clean one on hand at all times.

Disclaimer: Please note that our size guide is an approximate guide only. All head sizes, shapes and dimensions differ for each individual. The hat should be a snug fit to keep hearing aids in place. However, if the hat appears to be too tight and causes lines or indents onto the head, please discontinue use and move to the next size up.
Warning: For safety reasons, always remove pilot cap before putting your child to sleep. Snap closures could present a choking hazard if removed or chewed on.

Customer Reviews
These pilot caps are exactly what is needed to prevent little fingers from pulling out their hearing aids and having a good munch on. My baby is not bothered by the caps. He doesn’t touch them. The Sensory Specialists sell the best range of colours I could find on the market and I have 3 in Almalfi, baby blue and white.
Nice caps but on the smaller side
Our son loves the cap and most importantly it his hearing aids stay in!
Speedy arrival and they look lovely. The soft fabric appears to be durable and comfortable which is a bonus. They fit perfectly and stop my baby from removing his aids. I will be purchasing more. Thank you 🤩
With my little one was constantly pulling out her hearing aids ans i was at a loss till i found these. The pilot caps fit perfectly due to the material being super stretchy, breathable and soft. My baby barely notices it there and we've had no problems with her tugging on her ear or hearing aid since. Highly recommend for those looking for a solution to hearing aids being pulled out or falling out on their own.
