Have you dropped your hearing aids in the ocean, pool, or shower and noticed you weren’t hearing as clear the next day? Even 0.5ul (microliters) of water could cause up to a major decline in your hearing ability.
While most major hearing aid manufacturers engineer some water resistance to prevent failure, the function of the aid may dramatically decline as moisture accumulates.
Dropping your hearing aid on a surface with water is not the only way moisture can get into your hearing aid. Your ear is a humid and dark place making your aids the perfect target for moisture like sweat, to damage the internal workings of your aids.
