Abstract: A pushbutton pullstring adaptor includes a pullstring and a housing enclosing a pushbutton. The pullstring includes an engagement portion and elongate string portion. The engagement portion, which is disposed within the housing, moves with respect to the housing to engage the pushbutton when a pushing force is applied and to engage the end of the housing when a pulling force is applied. One end of the string portion is securely attached to the engagement portion. The other end of the string portion passes through an aperture in the housing. The string portion moves freely through the aperture when a pushing force or pulling force is applied. When a pushing force is applied to the string portion, the engagement portion engages the pushbutton to control the hearing aid. When a pulling force is applied, the engagement portion engages the housing to remove the hearing aid from a user's ear.
