DO YOU KNOW IF YOUR HEARING AIDS CAN BE WORN IN THE SHOWER?

In their article, Nano Hearing Aids explains how to check whether hearing aids are waterproof or water-resistant, and when it’s safe to shower with hearing devices, which is pretty important information, don't you think?

As Class I devices, Nano's hearing aids are FDA-registered OTC devices suited to adults 18+ with perceived mild to moderate hearing impairment. The company's experts are here to guide you on the water-related aspects of most hearing devices.

With prices starting at just $297, devices from Nano Hearing Aids offer a viable solution if you're looking to improve your hearing.

WATERPROOF, WATER SAFE OR NOT AT ALL SUITED TO WATER...

To confirm whether your hearing aids can withstand water, Nano Hearing Aids says you need to check their IP rating. A rating of IP68 indicates your devices are dust-tight and safe for submersion in water. If your devices are deemed waterproof or water-safe, be sure to consult the manufacturer’s guidelines before wearing them in the shower. If your devices are not deemed waterproof or safe for emersion, remember to remove them before showering.

To keep your hearing aids in top condition, routine maintenance is key. The Nano Hearing Aids team recommends you check your devices regularly for signs of moisture or damage, and that you have them professionally cleaned every so often.

They also recommend a drying kit or dehumidifier to manage moisture for water-resistant models, and that you consult with a hearing care professional if you have questions about your specific hearing aid model.
