More Freedom. Less Worry.
From the classroom to the playground, pool, and family adventures, Ci Wear™ Youth helps children stay active while keeping their hearing technology more secure and accessible.
Why Parents Choose Ci Wear™ Youth
Less worry about the device. More freedom for kids to play, explore, and participate. Ci Wear™ Youth helps keep cochlear implant processors secure so children can focus on the activity, not their technology.
More Confidence During Active Play
Swimming, sports, playground adventures, and everyday movement can be challenging when trying to keep a cochlear implant processor secure. Ci Wear™ Youth helps keep processors protected and in place, so kids can focus on having fun.
Less Worry About Lost or Damaged Devices
Cochlear implant processors are valuable devices that children rely on every day. Built-in processor pockets and securing bands provide an added layer of retention compared with traditional clips, collars, or external straps.
Designed for Kids, Not Adapted From Adult Gear
Ci Wear™ Youth is specifically designed around children’s needs, with a comfortable stretch fit, flexible construction, and processor storage built directly into the shirt.
Supports Independence and Inclusion
Whether at school, swimming lessons, sports practice, or family activities, Ci Wear™ Youth helps children participate more confidently without feeling limited by their hearing technology.
A Simpler Solution for Families
No armbands, lanyards, or complicated accessories are needed. The patented Ci Wear™ design combines processor retention, cord management, and comfortable activewear in one easy-to-wear shirt.
Q: Why do children with cochlear implants need a special shirt?
A: Children are active, and traditional clothing does not provide a secure way to hold or protect cochlear implant processors. Ci Wear™ Youth integrates processor pockets and retention features directly into the shirt to help keep devices secure during everyday activities.
Q: Can I wear Ci Wear™ for team sports or land-based activities?
A: Absolutely. Ci Wear™ is designed for much more than swimming. Its stretch nylon lycra fabric provides a secure, fitted feel that makes it ideal for team sports, playground activities, hiking, cycling, outdoor adventures, and winter sports. Many customers choose Ci Wear™ for activities where they want maximum processor security and cord managment.
If your primary focus is staying cool during workouts, running, or exercising in hot weather or everyday use, Ci Wear Sport™ offers a lighter, more breathable, moisture-wicking fabric designed specifically for those conditions.
