The Hearing Aid Sweat Band[TM] from VanB Enterprises will protect a behind-the-ear hearing aid from shorting out during perspiration-producing sports, snowmobiling, skiing, sailing, yard work, and at the workplace. When this happens we offer a behind-the-ear hearing aid as an alternative but people often prefer to keep their in-the-ear aid, even if it goes wrong from time to time. However, audiologists generally prefer behind-the-ear hearing aids for young children because they can be fine-tuned more easily as additional information about the child's hearing loss becomes available, or if a child's hearing changes over time. |
