While I’ve had my Jabras since they were first introduced at Costco, it was only this week that I realized how waterproof they could be. Most of us probably don’t want to mix and H2O.
You can chuckle at my misfortune which was due to a temporary brain freeze. I swim laps in our community pool during the summer. I hate swimming but go to accompany my husband who swam in college. I backstroke since it doesn’t involve having my face under water only my ears. And I wear my HAs to the pool where I take them out and place them on the book I bring. This past Saturday, I took out the left aid and was distracted before removing the right. I discovered the right aid still in my ear at the half mile mark. At this point they had been underwater for 45 minutes (yes I’m that slow). This was not a good discovery. Yes a bit of an understatement.
So I opened them up, removed the battery, shook out whatever water I could, pulled off the dome and placed them in my dryer once I got home. Had the dryer running nonstop for 5 days until today. To my surprise they started right up. I expect that their life expectancy has been greatly shortened, but they will probably hang in there until replaced in a few months.
i’ve always been worried about being caught in a downpour with my aids in, but no more!
