Creating a fully operational, waterproof hearing aid has been at the top of the agenda for most hearing aid manufacturers for decades. This is because hearing aids and water are not a good mix, and people with hearing loss must take extra precautions when it comes to keeping their hearing aid dry. This can be especially problematic for those who live active lifestyle and exercise regularly and those who heavily perspire.
There are such things as water-resistant hearing aids which can withstand the effects of water, perspiration, and moisture up to a degree, but no fully waterproof hearing aid existed that could withstand total submersion in water…until now. This is the Phonak Audéo Life™: the world’s first waterproof hearing aid!
