Hi all,
Yes, the Siemens Aquaris Hearing Instruments are waterproof. They state:
. Completely sealed housing and battery door
. IP68 certified: No seepage and no damage during continuous immersion
. Custom-made soft ear mold for swimming
The completely sealed housing and battery door means that you cannot fit the
audio shoes mentioned on this list for attaching cables. You can get an
additional sports strap to keep them in place when in water or doing
rigorous activities.
I did trial these. From memory they don't have any controls on the hearing
instruments and I think that was the main reason I decided not to go that
way. In the accessories for them there is an Acquapac that allows you to
store things like your remote controller and iPhone that is waterproof up to
a metre water pressure.
Cheers,
Lyn

It sounds right but check with other providers. If they are not
subsidized $5000 was the average price some years ago . Make sure
you have a trial period. They should let you try the model for 2
weeks or a month.
You will probably find some claims are exadurated. so check on the
trial situation before you spend that large chunk of cash after all
for that amount you want the bes.
Oh yes I heard these days some models aree water proof. That will
be great when you could where them in the shower. I don't know if
they are that capable yet but it would bee good not to worry about
getting caught in the rain while out walking.At 12:18 AM 14/05/2015, you

Hi All,volume
Today I went for my hearing test with the audiologist at my provider, and
after the test, we discussed what I wanted in the new hearing aids.
I said I would like manually switched T-coil access, to have all auto
related features permantly off on at least 1 program, to have improveda
connection to landline & mobile phones, and as much ability as possible to
be able to understand conversations in groups, and where there is a lot of
echo, as those situations cause me a lot of trouble...
I was recommended the Phonak V90,
http://www.phonakpro.com/com/b2b/en/products/hearing_instruments/audeo-v/he
ring-aid.html
which is the only 1 of the 4 options to have all of these features, but I
nearly fell of the chair, $8000!
Is that the way it is now?
5 years ago, I paid less than $1000 for the plain basic ones I have now.
$8000 just doesn't seem reasonable to have those features added!
Am I being got at, or am I just wanting too much???
With thanks in advance,
Paul from Sydney
