Wear Hearing Aids at the Gym, Worry-Free!

It's a frequently asked question, "Should I wear hearing aids while at the gym?”


Customer Story: Norma Sovka

I take medications that make me perspire. Unfortunately, I perspire from the sides of my head - directly above my hearing aids! Even with my hearing aids being moisture proof, I kept shorting out my batteries almost every day. Add the heat of summer to the mix and I was desperate! Ear Gear has saved my hearing aids!!! I never even know they're on because they are so comfortable! And they don't interfere with sound quality or volume. They actually decrease the noise of the wind. Thank you so much Ear Gear!!

Hearing Aid Fashion Doesn't Have to Cost a Pretty Penny

When you go shopping for eyeglasses, the options seem to be endless. There's no hiding glasses. There they are. Right smack dab in the middle of your face. So why not get funky, colorful and be as fashionable as you can with your new glasses? But what about hearing aids? Now, in recent years, manufacturers have gotten much better with adding more choices than the regular beige. Not that there's anything wrong with beige. Some people want to minimize their hearing instrument's appearance as much as possible. And that's okay!


Customer Story: Norman Marks

Got a set of Ear Gear covers just over a week ago and was amazed at the difference. I do a lot of work gardening work in the summer and my hearing aids were constantly giving me warning signals and then eventually stopped working. I'd have to take them out and let them sit for an hour or more to get them to work. Since I put Ear Gear on I have not had any problems at all. In fact now the batteries seem to be lasting a little longer. Norman Marks, BC, Canada Hearing Professional: Connect Hearing - Product worn: Ear Gear Mini
