I've tried that but it simply won't stay "stuck" if my hair grows more than a couple inches, its just too thick. I guess I'll try cutting it very short around the magnet and see if that works, if it doesn't I'll simply keep it in its usual pixie style.

I have very thick hair - when I had my CI implanted, I opted for a short pixie style to make things easier. I tried growing my hair longer, but discovered the magnet wouldn't stick (I use a #2 magnet) and when I went up to a #3, the attachment spot got sore - my audiologist said that I was...

Not true - I'm living proof! I appreciated the premise of the show, granted it seems to be a slow-starter, but I'm willing to give it a chance and see what direction it takes. They're breaking ground here, so there will be a learning curve for all involved, and I would love to see the show...
