If you wear hearing instruments of any kind, you've probably worn Ear Gear to places like the beach, golf course, hiking and biking trails plus many other places to enjoy the warm weather. Ear Gear's spandex blend material helps wick moisture away from the hearing device, preventing short circuits and corrosion. It also helps keep them safe from loss if you choose our Ear Gear corded models with their stretchy cord and durable locking clip that attaches to clothing. Even wind noise is dramatically reduced with Ear Gear to make activities like biking or driving in a convertible car much more fun.

One of the misconceptions about Ear Gear is that it's essentially only for hot summer weather, but Ear Gear has a number of benefits for hearing aids in the winter.  There are a host of winter sports where hearing instruments can be at risk of being damaged by moisture and quite possibly lost.   Here are examples of how Ear Gear can protect your hearing aids while enjoying winter sports: Hearing Aids and Skiing When going down the mountain at a high speed, hearing instruments can easily become lost as they fall off the ear. Ear Gear corded models prevent hearing aid loss. You might think that wearing a helmet will prevent hearing instruments from falling off, but when taking off or adjusting the helmet the device can come off the ear and fall into the deep snow. Ever tried finding a hearing aid on a ski hill?  It's very difficult, if not impossible!

Have you ever heard the loud, annoying sounds of someone blowing into a microphone? That's pretty much what hearing aid wearers experience on windy days, or even just riding their bike or riding in a convertible. You can imagine how enjoyable this is!

Ear Gear is essential for keeping out moisture and dirt from all kinds of hearing aids.  This means that the sleeves will get dirty from time to time. They need a good washing! But...you know how often socks go missing in the wash. Your Ear Gear is much smaller so don't risk losing one or both in the same washing machine vortex that steals socks.

Love the Ear Gear because it helps the hearing aids (Resound LiNX 3D 962) feel more comfortable to me as they are positioned behind my ears with the eye glass frame. Then too, when I walk in the heat of summer Ear Gear helps to protect my hearing aids from the perspiration I experience. I use the gray color Ear Gear which I received from Clear Sound Audiology in Gainesville, Florida. Thank You!
