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!

The importance of Ear Gear cannot be overstated when it comes to protecting your hearing device from moisture and dirt. Over time, the sleeves of the Ear Gear may become dirty and require a thorough cleaning in order to be at their highest function. However, we all know the frustrating experience of socks disappearing in the washing machine. Given that Ear Gear is much smaller, it's crucial to avoid the risk of losing one or both sleeves in the same washing machine vortex that seems to devour 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.
