walking through ginza two days ago i saw this window display for hearing aids with an emphasis on fashion: each ear piece can be covered in a variety of different colors and textures to match your outfit or your mood. this has been an ongoing theme in design for the body ever since the human 2.0 conference, in which aimee mullins described the joys of fashionable prosthetics. although her dream legs are still far from the norm, it’s nice to see that hearing aids are joining the ranks of glasses and starting to be presented as fashion accessories.
