As the seasons change, new questions and challenges arise regarding hearing aid usage. The summer is coming to an end and the cold weather is on its way. What are some of the major concerns that cold weather may bring.
One question is, what is the best way to deal with hats a BTE hearing aids. The clear challenge is that tight fitting hats cause feedback with the hearing aids yet people (mostly children) need to keep their heads warm. Doing a bit of research, I have found that some people choose to employ very loose hats while others simply turn off the aids until they are in warmer conditions. Newsboy hats has been another suggestion. These are warm hats that don’t cover the ears.
The other clear challenge with winter and hearing aids is that the aids, like all machines don’t love the cold. What suggestions do our readers have for dealing protecting hearing aids in the winter cold?
