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!

  • 10/10 would 100% recommend and will defo be coming back for more, explained my situation and was tailored to perfect! My little girl loves her hair clips and thinks it makes her hearing aids look pretty so she’s a bit less self-conscious! Thank you a million times!
