About Us

 

When our granddaughter was born hearing impaired and a year later received cochlear implants, we soon became aware of the problems involved with keeping heavy Cochlear Implant (CI) processors on little children.

As I searched the internet for something to help her, I didn't find anything that was comfortable, kept the processors secure and was easy to use.  Finally, I came upon the idea of pocketed headbands.  After several attempts and modifications, I had developed a headband that has worked for Sami. 

With the headbands, our daughter and son-in-law are able to keep the processors on Sami and she is quickly gaining language skills.  Since one of the reasons that CIs fail to work for infants and toddlers is the inability to keep the processors in place, every speech therapist, audiologist or hearing impaired teacher Sami sees remarks that the headbands should be made available to other CI patients.  For this reason Joy Bands ^® was born.

Joy Bands ^® takes its name from Sami’s great-grandmother who died a few months before Sami was born and who suffered from a severe hearing impairment during the last 40 years of her life.  Also Sami’s middle name, Joy describes what Sami has brought to our family.  We hope that Joy Bands ^® can bring joy to your family, too.
