Ear Gear is an effective means of protecting your hearing aids from dirt, sweat and accidental loss.
The double wall nylon-spandex blend is both washable and durable.
While Ear Gear provides an effective protection against
moisture, it is not 'waterproof' and therefore is not suitable for
swimming, showering or heavy sweating.
Suitable for everyone but ideal for children, who are notorious for taking off their hearing instruments or playing with them.
This model does not have a safety cord and clip; comes with a pair of protective covers only.

Does Ear Gear affect the quality and level of sound coming
into my

The graph shown is the result of an electroacoustical analysis test performed by Oticon. The green line shows the sound coming into a hearing aid without Ear Gear and the pink line shows the sound quality with Ear Gear. The results of this audioscan test indicate that there is no more than a 1dB reduction with Ear Gear; essentially it is acoustically transparent.

I recommend these protectors because they sure do the job well. Not only are they easy to put on (not so easy to remove - which is a good thing), but they dont interfere with the microphone on the BAHA and provide good protection for the aid. Even going to the gym and working up a sweat is no problem - so far I've not shorted my hearing aid out again by sweat yet which means I can still hear whats going on around me.
