Waterproof hearing aid case

I’m looking for a protective case for my hearing aids that I can carry around at all times, e.g. on my belt. I can buy or make a pouch for it if necessary, but would be nicer if it had a sturdy clip or loop already.
There is one past discussion that mentions only a Pelican case, which is kind of generic:

Best protective hearing aid cases
What are the best Hard shell protective waterproof cases for BTE and RIC hearing aids? And also what are the best cases for storing a large quantity of size 675 batteries?

I found these two options:

Are there any “flatter” solutions? Like this (that one might be a bit flimsy):

For carrying on a belt, flat is nicer than bulky …

(Edit: took out a case for In-the-ear only.)

Interesting as I wear my aids from when I get out of bed until I go to bed. I done take them off. Now if you are wanting to go swimming or in a rainy weather situation then that would be different. For rain conditions I wear a wide brim hat.

Yeah, it’s like for going swimming, being surprised by a rainstorm while outdoors, camping with the kids … That kind of thing.

I am 77 and if I go swimming I have a go pack with a charger for my aids and that is where they go. I wear a wide brim hat outdoors

Choose any belt container you like and add a ziplock sandwich bag to the interior. Problem solved. I motorcycle camp. I use ziplock bags for everything from laundry powder to cell phones to q-tips to medications.

Small Peli cases are good. Fwiw, I’d also put them in a dry-lock bag within the case too, just so you’re not 100% reliant on the case seal.

I ordered the Adco case this morning. $20 free shipping with a 30 day return policy. I’ll test it’s waterproofness and post here.
It would be great for a beach vacation when you’re in and out of the water and just hanging around sand for a good part of the day.

Thank you! Could you test the reliability of the clasp when the case is dropped? (Not sure whether you want to test that …)

I did quite some reasearch on micro-cases that are not marketed as “for hearing aids” specifically. There are some. I think the Adco is basically an S3 T1000, it looks identical. Could be that Adco buys them from S3 and outfits them with padding etc:

Water-resistant and dust-proof, the T1000 is the staple of micro hard-sided cases. Made out of S433 resin, your pocket sized valuables stay safe with our custom formed insert. Ideal for protecting keys, wallets, credit cards, jewelry, cash, business...

Another option is the Seahorse case:

Then, of course, the Pelican one. I am trying to find the smallest case that is still crush-proof and waterproof, so I did all that research. 1/2 inch thickness matters to me.

And in all this there is the irony that you are trying to protect your IP68 hearing aid in an IP67 case!

Thanks! For the record, the smallest crushproof, waterproof case I found is this:

https://www.fuertecases.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=HPRC-110043

Interior Dimensions: 2.28 x 2.26 x 1.00" (5.80 x 5.70 x 2.50 cm)
LID DEPTH: .50" (1.28 cm) / BOTTOM DEPTH: .50" (1.28 cm)
Exterior Dimensions: 3.16 x 2.71 x 1.25" (8.00 x 6.90 x 3.20 cm)

I think this would be just so big enough for aids with silicone domes. It’s IP67 like all the other cases mentioned here and has all the certificates for being a tough case. (Check their website for details.) In the end I did not go for that one, but if you are looking for the most compact solution for a tough and waterproof case, I think this is it.

Adco case arrived and it is plenty big enough for the Phillips 9050’s. Padding is fine, I won’t be tossing the case around so they won’t need to be nestled in deep foam. Tested for watertightness in a tub for 30 minutes and it passed. Again, don’t have plans to be anywhere near those conditions. I give it an A+.

I really like this size 675 battery Case from Amazon.

I give it a 4.8 star review.
The case is great for my size 675 hearing aid batteries!
Just needed to tilt the battery pull tab a little to the right when inserting, so the case can close properly.
The only negative is the gasket on one of the 3 cases I bought was a little lose.
Easily fits in pants pocket or shirt pocket.
