The Story Behind CI Wear
CI Wear™ began with a simple mission: to improve how individuals with cochlear implants stay active, confident, and connected—starting with one child’s experience in the water.
Founded by Parents, Built for Active Families
Founded in 2012 by a parent seeking a better way to secure his son’s waterproof cochlear implant processors while swimming, CI Wear is now the first and only patented performance apparel brand designed specifically for cochlear implant users.
Moving Beyond Traditional Retention
Traditional clips and accessories often fail during physical activity, increasing the risk of cords snagging or processors falling off. That’s why we created a comfortable, stylish, and functional solution: a high-performance shirt featuring:
Built-in Sleeve Pockets: Dedicated slots to securely hold processors flat against the body.
Internal Securing Features: Integrated pathways that prevent cords from snagging, pulling, or catching.
All-Activity Performance: Patented apparel engineered to keep your hearing devices safe and in place, whether you're swimming, running, biking, or just enjoying life.
