I was in the 3rd grade (so about 8 or 9 years old) when I got my purple hearing aids. The audiologist showed me a picture that had different colors of the hearing aid, and even had some display hearing aids in her office, so I got way excited and got the purple ones (and I was the ONLY deafie at our local deaf school with colored aids for so long!). Woo! Purple hearing aids, and bright pink, green, and orange earmolds over the ears haha.
