## Caption

"I'm making something beautiful out of something you might be ashamed of. We’re looking at the aids as tools of life, and we honor them with beauty." - Elana Langer
.
Designer Elana Langer turns hearing aids into jewelry by elevating them with Swarovski crystals. She began updating assistive products after being inspired by her grandmother's dislike of her clinical walker; Langer has produced bedazzled walkers, canes, and hearing aids that turn basic functional devices into fashionable, aesthetic products.

See these Earring Aids in Access+Ability, now on view in the Heinz Galleries.
