Description
Hi there, I lost my white behind-the-ear hearing aid with a small blue accent and a black battery door. It's about the size of a USB drive, with a slightly scuffed matte shell and a tiny scratch on the edge. I think I dropped it yesterday around 3pm near the Starbucks on Guadalupe Street by UT, possibly in the pedestrian plaza or in the seating area outside. I really rely on it to hear in daily conversations, and it has sentimental value because it's been with me for years. If anyone found it, I'd be grateful to get it back; I can describe more features if needed.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
