Hey,
I want to join a gym, but I keep getting paranoid about hearing aids and sweat. Obviously, I would take the hearing aids off when swimming, haha.
I have the Phonak Audeo YES IX hearing aids which are receiver-in-the-canal type hearing aids. I have hearing aid sweatbands and was wondering since the sweatbands only cover the external part of the hearing aid and not the in-ear portion (with the receiver), would it offer enough protection?
I will attest to the fact that the sweatbands have been useful for protecting the battery compartment which depending on the hearing aid can shut off if moisture leaks in.
Any tips on what to do when running on the treadmill, etc. would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
