PLUG Hearing Aid Concept Stretches Your Earlobes for Better Sound

Occasionally I cover my ears and sing "Lalalala, I'm not listening to your concept description." Today I'm covering them and begging "No! Don't punch holes into my poor earlobes and make me use this hearing aid when I'm old! Please!"

I understand that it's a gradual process to stretch out one's earlobes and wear jewelry that looks like the PLUG hearing aid concept—it's even trendy to some—but that doesn't mean that I could imagine a lot of people actually using this hearing aid if it ever turns into a real product.

I've always wanted a legitimate excuse to stretch my ears, now i just need to become partially deaf

Gurney said...

Guy Movie Blogger said...

Matte said...

AWESOME! i need 1! :P

Nokel said...

wow, that's a pretty big stretch too =O

SleepySpaceCadet said...

I couldn't ever wear those (ears aren't modified) but half the people I know around her certainly could.

He looks like he aspires to thread a dick through his ear. Possibly his own.

lol i dont think id wear something like that

The Informant said...

Honestly, that gives me another reason to buy a Masterlock and lock it in someone's stretched earlobe.

Hamspiced said...

I dont see why this cant partially be applied to regular hoop earrings... seems plausable enough

Leonidas said...

haha so now these kids with the gauged ears have something to look forward to when they get old!

Copyboy said...

Definitely not attention grabbing. :)

SWOOP! said...

I've never liked that look before but I guess this is really nice if you do like the look and have hearing problems. Why not combine the two?

this is really creative!

I don't like the look of stretched out earlobs. However, the idea of using an earring for a hearing aid is awesome. I would totally get a leet hearing aid like the earrings from DBZ and have the cable that connects it to my inner ear sewn into my skin so you couldn't even notice it!

i'd like to put a padlock on every single one of those things

Sweeeeeetas said...

Lol this has to be a joke!!? Rather learn sign language ;)

Drackar said...

eh. I'd wear it if I ever gauged up that high

it makes sense, in a way. A lot of people with large lobe piercings also go to loud music shows.

Willow said...

I'm pierced, but I'm not one to stretch out my lobes, if anythign the lowest gauge I'll go is a 4, because at least in the future I'll be able to let my holes close up if I wanted to.

Jeff said...

Ugh. When you are 40 those stretched out lobes are gonna look like something out of National Geographic.

Das Auto! said...

kennett4 said...

Abul said...

lol thats a great invention!!! with all the ppl wearing spacers...

hindenburg said...

I really think its ugly. And you have to be stretched the right amount to use that. Fail :(

Sam said...

haha awesome concept

Virus said...

ew I hate those plugs. People who wear them are stupid. What happens when the trend starts to fall? You take the plugs out and you have huge nasty holes in your ears! Plus, someone can run by while you have the plugs in, and stick a padlock in it and run away xD

Ishu said...

lol cool concept

If it works then it works, I suppose. Whether or not it works better than a traditional hearing aid will be the real test.
