Can I wear my hearing aids in the shower or while swimming?

Most hearing aids are not waterproof and should not be worn in the shower or while swimming. However, some hearing aids are water-resistant and can handle light moisture like sweat or brief rain exposure. If you need to hear while swimming, special waterproof hearing aids or bone-anchored devices are available. Always check your specific hearing aid's IP (Ingress Protection) rating to understand its water resistance level. Remove hearing aids before showering and store them in a safe, dry place.
