Why are waterproof hearing aids important?
From the moment we wake up, we use water to brush our teeth, shave, and wash our faces. We take showers. Because traditional hearing aids are vulnerable to water, we cannot wear our hearing aids in these instances, disconnecting us from the world early in the day. If someone’s downstairs calling out that breakfast is on the table, or that you are running late, you may miss these sounds while getting ready. As you’re heading out the door, you may notice that the sky looks particularly cloudy and rain is on the way. This poses a threat to your hearing aids, which may suffer damage from excessive precipitation.
Throughout the course of the day, our ears produce wax, and depending on our occupation and daily activities, our hearing aids are subjected to a level of debris and sweat. Small particles may jam up the mechanisms in hearing aids and hinder their performance. For those of us who rely on our hearing aids to connect us to the world, whether in a professional or recreational environment, the threat of debris and liquid proves an inconvenience. If you are an athlete or engage in daily physical exercise, you may find that running and jumping has an effect on your hearing aids. Most hearing aids provide a layer of protection against shock, but the quality and consistency of this feature is not guaranteed in all devices. The Aquaris shock proof feature changes all of this for hearing aid wearers.
Siemens Aquaris

Aside from the incredible protective features of the device, this behind-the-ear hearing aid offers state of the art sound quality and innovative programming features to provide best accessibility to wearers. The directional microphones on the hearing aid create a sense of spatial awareness for the wearer, simulating binaural hearing, while feedback reduction and high-frequency management keep sounds crisp and clear. With 16 channels and a remote, wearers of the Aquaris benefit from a range of options in different noise environments as well as discreet accessibility to volume and program change. Additionally, wind noise reduction and Bluetooth capability solidify this device as a durable, well-connected option for wearers who lead active lives.
