New Case Gets Leg Up on Hearing Aid Protection

Hearing aid pouches made of soft material come in handy, but they offer limited protection to hearing instruments when not residing in the ears. Even plastic cases from hearing aid manufacturers, while durable, come short of what some patients want or need. This is where the new AidKeeper comes into play. It is a well-made, crush-resistant and waterproof hearing aid storage case made of floatable material. A foam insert adheres to the bottom to provide storage for spare batteries and cleaning brush (included). It also holds a small desiccant can (also included) although I already tossed mine out. The product includes a round, double-sided sticky insert designed to hold a wireless locator (not sold by manufacturer, sold separately) that works in an app to locate a misplaced case.

The diameter of the case measures 2.38″ easily accommodating two BTE hearing aids and large enough for at least one Baha or cochlear implant processor. Available in five different colors, it is a perfect for pediatric patients, teenagers, and any adult looking to protect their hearing instruments when not in their ears.
