Affixed behind-the-ear child resistant volume control cover

A hearing aid, comprising:

• an amplifier circuit;
• an adjustable variable control;
• a control cover coupled adjacent to the adjustable variable control, including:
• a shield, having a first side, and a second side;
• an opening within the shield, the opening being dimensioned to substantially prohibit a human finger located adjacent to the first side from accessing the adjustable variable control located adjacent to the second side;
• and
• wherein the opening is dimensioned to allow a tool located adjacent to the first side to access the adjustable variable control located adjacent to the second side.

A method of manufacturing a control cover, comprising:

• forming a shield adapted for optional coupling to a hearing aid, the shield having a first side and a second side;
• shaping an opening within the shield, the opening substantially prohibiting a human finger located adjacent to the first side from accessing a location adjacent to the second side;
• and
• shaping the opening to allow a tool located adjacent to the first side to access the location adjacent to the second side.
