ALT A photo of Betty with her Osia implant. She smiles in profile view. Below is the cover page and first page of her hand written book. The title reads 'BAHA and Osia Hearing Aid', and is accompanied by Betty's drawings of the two objects. On the right is the first page, which has a paragraph that reads: "My name is Betty. When I was 6 years old, I couldn't hear a things, so me and my mum went to get a hearing check. A month later we went back to get a hearing aid called Baha, it was good I can hear better."
ALT Handwritten: "When you go and get your BAHA hearing they will give you a packet of batteries and the batteries will last 10 to 12 days and then you need a new battery. And you will get a head band because the hearing aid clicks on the head band." Below is Betty's drawing and description of her headband, with annotations of the mic. "This is mine, you will need to give the mic to someone when they are talking to you." The next page: "The mic helps you hear more better. If any one is talking to you give the mic to someone talking to you. When you see a red light you need to charge it up. How you can charge it up .... If you ask someone you can get a special speaker just for the BAHA hearing aid. You can even choose a different colour of headband. When you get the head band and the hearing aid you need to... I had BAHA for 6 years. 6 years later I couldn't hear that well so we got a new hearing aid. I was sick of wearing my BAHA. I ask my mum to get nothing with a headband.
ALT Osia: I had surgery on the September the 22 2021. The doctor put the big magnet in to my head, when the doctor finish the surgery it was difficult to sleep for 7 days. On November 18 2021 I went to GOSH to get the Osia hearing aid. When you go and get your Osia hearing aid and mic it is so exciting. Osia come with a water proof case. If you want stickers you will need to buy it online. Now I can hear much better than before. This battery is for the Osia hearing aid. It only lasts two days because it uses lots of power so you can hear much better.
