Today's hearing aids are so small there's the danger that you actually might forget you're wearing them. So what should you do if you're near a pool this summer and your hearing aid gets wet? Here's some advice from the nonprofit website Hear-it.org.
Make sure you follow up with an inspection and cleaning with your hearing-care professional, says Carole Rogin, president of the Hearing Industries Association.
Even though some hearing aids are water resistant, it's best not to get them wet in the first place, adds Barbara E. Weinstein, Ph.D., a professor of audiology at City University of New York.
