Can I wear hearing aids while swimming or showering?

Asked a year ago
No, it is generally not recommended to wear hearing aids while swimming or showering. Hearing aids are electronic devices that are not waterproof and can be damaged by water. Exposure to water can cause corrosion, internal damage, and impair their functionality. Additionally, the presence of moisture can lead to ear infections or other complications. If you need assistance with hearing while engaging in water-related activities, it is advised to explore waterproof options such as swim molds or specialized hearing aids designed for use in water. Consulting with an audiologist or hearing healthcare professional can help you find suitable solutions tailored to your needs.
