Ear Gear is an effective means of protecting your hearing aids from dirt, sweat and accidental loss. The double wall nylon-spandex blend is both washable and durable.

Since ear gear is quite small it can be tricky to pop it in the washing machine, that's why we offer the Ear Gear washing pouch, which allows you to put your ear gear in the washing machine without worrying about losing it. 

Made out of the same spandex material, this is a convenient way to both store and clean your 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.
