About Hear I Am Designs

Hi, I’m Kathy — a mum of two girls, creative spirit, and the heart behind Hear I Am Designs.

I live with Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) and other chronic health conditions, and I began losing my hearing about 15 years ago (or at least that’s when I got my first hearing aids!). Today, I have severe hearing loss in both ears.

When I first started wearing hearing aids, I struggled with confidence — until I discovered how decorating them made me feel proud to stand out, not hide away. What began as a personal project quickly grew into a real passion. I loved making my hearing aids mine, full of colour and personality!

In 2018, I decided I wanted to help others feel the same joy and empowerment — and that’s how Hear I Am Designs was born.

Since then, I have also branched out into making and selling other accessories and gifts too. Every piece I create is made with love, to celebrate individuality and encourage confidence.

Thank you for being here and supporting my journey!

  • First time ordering from this shop I was a little nervous. Love the charm sets, I've got twists on to keep them in place due to thin wires. (They fit over phonak receivers if you're wondering)
