By Destiny Pinto - Vogue x BMW

A hearing aid case, built to celebrate hearing tech as a fashion accessory.

The case, designed by Destiny Pinto, features a clean white body with sterling silver jewellery accessories, inspired by the BMW Neue Klasse.

A hearing aid taped to the platform of a 3d scanner. The body of the device is also wrapped in paper tape to reduce reflections.

3D Scan

A digital model of a hearing aid, a blue and yellow mesh.

Digital mould

3d modelling software on an Ipad, a reference image of a hearing aid is overlaid over a zoomed in 3d model of the case, being edited with a stylus.

CAD

Four case prototypes fresh out the 3D printer, attached to the print bed and unclean, dripping in grey resin.

Print

An assortment of hearing aid cover prototypes sorted into two rows. The cases in the top row are an off-white, flexible material. Many of these have rough edges and small tears. The cases in the bottom row are smoother harder plastic, looking very clean.

Iterate

An assortment of 3d printed case prototypes and small 3d printed components in grey and white plastic, messily arranged in a clear plastic box. Almost every piece is different, some with silver painted cutouts, some with hooks, different sizes, all to illustrate the iterative design process.

Trust the process!
