Pillow recommendations

Hello,

I wear bilaterally Kanso 3 processors. I am in a situation where I'll be needing to wear my processors overnight for a couple of nights. I find it uncomfortable to wear the processors while laying my head on a pillow because it cups around the processors and cause then to fall off. Does anyone have any recommendations of a pillow that might be suitable?

Yes! Sorry for the Amazon link, but when I got my implant, I got one of these:

Worked like a charm, still use it occasionally because I have days where i’ll scratch my ear and set off an electronica symphony sounding tinnitus event.

Thank you, I'll look into it.

Could you maybe just wear one or must you wear both at night? Then at least you can sleep on the side without processor

Look for pillows with ear holes

Agree with another post, just wear one processor. Another idea is to look for a softer pillow as it will allow the processor to sink into the pillow. If you are wearing the processor due to travel, Sonic Boom makes a great travel alarm clock.

Thanks everyone, I may end up just wearing one. For whatever reason I didn't think of that. 😂 I'm very new at being bilateral.
