Cochlear implants bring the joy of sound to everyday life, but water can be a challenge. Swimming, splashing, and diving often mean worrying about the device staying in place, or missing out on hearing altogether.
That’s why Nammu swim hats exist. Our hats make it easy for cochlear implant users to swim and hear. Whether it’s for swimming lessons, pool days, or outdoor sports, they offer protection and peace of mind, and they’re cool-looking too, so you can focus on enjoying the water and creating unforgettable memories.

At Nammu, we’re constantly inspired by the stories our amazing community shares with us. These personal stories remind us why we love what we do, especially when we see how our hats make a difference for kids and adults with cochlear implants or hearing aids. Below are just a few of the heartwarming and inspiring reviews you’ve sent us. You can check out more reviews here, and testimonials here. You can see more videos here.

Yvette’s Story: A Mother’s Gratitude

Yvette, the mother of a young girl who uses a cochlear implant, shared a touching story with us: “My daughter is deaf and uses a cochlear implant to hear. It’s not waterproof, so we put it in a waterproof bag and then use a swim cap to help keep it in place if she wants to hear in the pool. She has tried several different swim caps, but this was by far the best. It is very stylish and was so easy to use. Thank you so much for making this available. It truly has made our life better.”

Lauren’s Story: A 3-Year-Old’s ‘Special Hat’

Lauren shared how her 3-year-old son feels about his Nammu hat: “Swimming and hearing. You can see his cochlear implants peeking out from under his Nammu hat. He loves his ‘special hat’ that he has to wear with his ‘special ears’ when he swims. We will be ordering more and passing the word on to friends. People say he looks like a pirate!”

Kennedy’s Story: A Family’s Joy from Australia

From Australia, Kennedy expressed her gratitude: “Here is a picture of our London Boy with his new Nammu Cap and his Cochlear AquaBags, headed out the door to swimming lessons!! Thank you so much!!! You have no idea how amazing this is for us!”

Christina’s Story: From Fear to Confidence

Christina’s story highlights the transformative impact of our hats: “My daughter wears a cochlear implant and uses a waterproof bag along with your Nammu hat. It works wonderfully to allow her to hear us while swimming. She can now take swim lessons and hear the instructor. Our friends have even used the bag and Nammu hat at the beach to prevent sand from getting into the implant. Thank you for making such a huge difference in our children’s lives. My child went from being frightened in the pool due to silence to an avid swimmer.”

Richard’s Story: A Secure Solution for Adults

Adults have also found Nammu hats incredibly useful. Richard shared: “I love the Nammu swimming cap! I used it at the beach a few weeks ago and it worked perfectly! The cap kept my waterproof cochlear implant magnets secure on my head, so the magnets didn’t fall off and get lost while I was swimming in the ocean. I love how the cap covers the magnets on my head! I’m glad I found you and got to try the swimming cap! I’m in love with it already! I’m so excited to swim with my cap again! You guys are amazing, and I will definitely recommend the swim cap and your company to other cochlear implant users!”
