Water activities are a joy for everyone, offering fun, social interaction, and physical activity. For cochlear implant users, participating in these activities can be challenging without the right protection for their audio processors. WaterWear is a game-changer, providing a waterproof solution that allows cochlear implant users to hear and engage in water environments.
Listening fatigue is a common experience for hearing aid and hearing implant users. It occurs when it’s necessary to listen to speech for long periods in difficult listening situations: background noise, echo, multiple people talking at the same time, a lack of lip-reading cues. Listening in such environments requires more effort because the listener has to fill in the gaps in the auditory message that they miss due to the noise. This increased listening effort can lead to listening fatigue.
For cochlear implant users who enjoy doing sports, staying safe is very important. Having access to sound can help people stay safe, especially during outdoor sports such as cycling. Wearing the right helmet is crucial to ensure hearing performance is not compromised.
