Ear Gear Micro Glasses Cordless - Hearing Aid
Protection
A special version of ear gear for use by people who wear glasses. Ear Gear is an effective means of protecting your hearing aids from dirt, sweat and accidental loss.
The brightly coloured double wall nylon-spandex blend is both washable and durable.
While Ear Gear provides an effective protection against
moisture, it is not 'waterproof' and therefore is not suitable for
swimming, showering or heavy sweating.
Suitable for everyone but ideal for children, who are notorious for taking off their hearing instruments or playing with them.
This model does not have a safety cord and clip but it does have ring to fit to glasses; comes with two protective covers only.
Micro Ear Gear fits micro BTEs up to 25mm / 1" (approx)

Does Ear Gear affect the quality and level of sound coming
into my
hearing instruments?
The graph shown is the result of an electroacoustical analysis test performed by Oticon. The green line shows the sound coming into a hearing aid without Ear Gear and the pink line shows the sound quality with Ear Gear. The results of this audioscan test indicate that there is no more than a 1dB reduction with Ear Gear; essentially it is acoustically transparent.
Alternatively, it is possible to use Ear Gear in reverse which allows a hearing instrument to have Ear Gear installed without having to remove the earmould/earbud:
