Product Description
Protect your Hearing Instrument from Sweat, Dirt, Moisture, Loss & Wind Noise.
Hearing devices come in all shapes and sizes, and whether they’re worn by a baby, toddler, teen, adult or senior, everyone faces similar challenges. Ear Gear is different than other hearing aid protection on the market.Its thin, form-fitting spandex material is discreet and comfortable. Proven acoustically transparent, the double-walled sleeve prevents sweat, dirt, moisture and wind noise to reach the inner electrical components of the hearing instruments yet allows air to pass through so the battery works properly; even extending the life of the battery. Available in cordless and corded models, to prevent hearing aid loss, plus a wide variety of fun colors.
SWEAT – Summer heat, outdoor activities and hearing aids make up the perfect scenario to cause short-circuiting and potentially a complete breakdown of the hearing instrument. Ear Gear works to wick sweat away from the hearing instrument’s delicate electronic components. Once Ear Gear is saturated with sweat, remove the sleeve from the hearing aid and replace it with a new, clean and dry Ear Gear. DIRT – As large as a grain of sand, or as small as a speck of dust, dirt finds its way into your hearing instrument. A day at the beach is no time to worry about this. Ear Gear’s spandex material allows not one grain or speck to enter the hearing aid. MOISTURE – Humid conditions, an unexpected rain shower, a spray with the garden hose – these are all situations where Ear Gear saves the day. The spandex material soaks up the moisture before it can enter the hearing instrument saving it from damage which typically requires a day in a dehumidifier or worse, a trip to the clinic for a repair. LOSS – Ear Gear is available in corded and cordless options. The corded models work identically to the cordless sleeves. However, they provide unsurpassed protection against hearing aid loss by using a durable locking clip and stretchy cord to attach to clothing. WIND NOISE – The double-walled spandex material allows 100% of surrounding sounds to enter the hearing instrument yet effectively prevents wind noise and noise caused by hair rustling against the device. Fully enjoy the outdoors without the annoyance on a windy day, driving in a convertible or riding a bike.

Ear Gear FAQ’s
What is Ear Gear and what materials are used?
Ear Gear is a nylon-spandex sleeve that slides onto your hearing instrument to protect it from moisture, dirt, sweat, and wind noise. And yes, Ear Gear Corded also protects your hearing instrument from loss. The cord is made of rubber with polyester cover. The O ring is made of rubber, and the clip is made from plastic.
How does Ear Gear protect hearing instruments from sweat, dirt, moisture, loss and wind noise?
Ear Gear has a unique double wall of spandex that provides protection against sweat, rain, humidity, dirt, dust, sand, wind noise, the sound of hair rustling, loss and even prevents chafing behind the ear where the hearing instrument sits. The material of the sleeve that covers the hearing aid actually absorbs moisture, preventing it from reaching the microphone port, battery door, and sensitive interior circuitry. Always remove your hearing instrument from Ear Gear after each use to allow it to dry for the next use. The sleeve also acts as barrier to prevent dirt of any kind from entering the hearing instrument.
Wind noise is dramatically cut down due to the double-walled barrier yet all surrounding sounds enter unobstructed so you can hear clearly on a windy day. Available in corded models, Ear Gear can be attached to clothing to prevent hearing aid loss.
Is Ear Gear available in different models and sizes? How do I choose which Ear Gear model fits my hearing aid?
Yes, Ear Gear is available in a variety of models and sizes. Except ITE, each model comes in Corded (a pair of sleeves each with an elastic cord that attaches it to the one clip), Cordless (always comes in pairs) and Mono (a single sleeve with a cord and clip).
How do I decide whether to order a Corded or Cordless model of Ear Gear?
In the case of infants, small children or seniors, the Corded model is always recommended as protection against loss. For older children, teens, and adults many times the Cordless model is recommended as the main concern is sweat, moisture, and wind noise protection. However, if the teen or adult is involved in a strenuous physical activity where hearing instruments can fall off, a model of Ear Gear with cord and clip would be suggested.
What function does the o-ring on the Corded models perform?
The o-ring on all of Ear Gear’s Corded models are designed to slide up against the head preventing hearing instruments with Ear Gear from ‘flopping’ off the wearer’s ears. The O-ring also streamlines the cords.
Ear Gear Eyeglasses is a spandex sleeve with 1 or 2 “O-rings” sewn on the sleeve (it depends on the size of the Ear Gear sleeve whether there are 1 or 2 O-rings attached). To install Ear Gear Eyeglasses, simply slide the arm of your glasses through the O-ring(s). Ear Gear attaches to your eyeglasses and provide security for your hearing instrument. It is a personal preference whether to use one or both O-rings.
What should I do when my Ear Gear sleeve becomes saturated with moisture or dirty?
Ear Gear continues to retain moisture until the sleeve becomes saturated. Once saturated, we recommend you change the sleeve similarly to how you would change your clothing. This ensures your hearing instruments are completely protected.
Ear Gear’s function is to trap sweat and dirt which requires regular washing of the product. As Ear Gear is made of spandex, it can be washed many times and still maintains its elasticity. We recommend hand washing Ear Gear in warm water and a mild detergent (no bleach). A drop of dish soap or a small amount zero or Woolite all work equally well. Then rinse your Ear Gear under cold running water and allow it to drip dry. Ear Gear should not be put in the washing machine or dryer but can be put into a Dry & Store. If using a Dry & Store, remove Ear Gear from the hearing instrument.
Measure your Hearing Instrument
Ear Gear is great, but it only works properly if you measure your hearing instrument first! Ear Gear Original fits hearing aids 1.25 to 2 inches (3.2 – 5 cm). You will need to measure your hearing aid to make sure that Ear Gear Original fits correctly.

Ear Gear is perfect for people of all ages! If you or a loved one has an active lifestyle and need protection against sweat, dirt, moisture, wind noise and hearing aid loss then Ear Gear is for you.
Infants
Do you struggle trying to keep clunky hearing aids on your baby’s tiny ears? You have probably been met with this challenge several times. Just when you have the hearing aids on and balanced, baby swipes at their ear and the hearing aid falls to the floor.
Babies’ ears are delicate, and chafing caused by the hearing instrument is a common problem. They also put everything into their mouths, which can be extremely dangerous for the infant and damaging to the hearing aid.
Ear Gear’s spandex sleeve is soft and breathable yet provides a protective shield against sweat, dirt, moisture, loss and wind noise.
With a durable, secure locking clip, you can worry less about the hearing instrument becoming a choking hazard, or falling to the hard ground and is free of sharp edges and hypoallergenic.
Various colors allow you to have fun matching your infant’s hearing instruments with clothing. Ear Gear can significantly reducing the risk of damage and loss to your baby’s hearing instruments.
Children & Teens
Children are always on the move; baseball practice, dance, playground, ball pit and the beach. Where will their hearing instrument end up throughout the day? Lost in the sand, buried in the pile of toys? Spend your afternoon watching your kid’s soccer game and then going for pizza – not searching for a hearing instrument left on the field.
Ear Gear protects against sweat, moisture, dirt and wind noise that all children experience wearing hearing aids, and is an excellent option for hearing aid retention.
Ear Gear corded models offer a stretchy cord which allows full range of head motion while protecting the hearing instruments from damage so children of all ages can stay active at daycare, school or at their big game and home.
Free of sharp edges, hypoallergenic and available with secure locking clips, Ear Gear clips stay securely attached to your children’s clothing.
The spandex sleeve also promotes comfort, prevents and assists in healing from chafing plus diminishes wind noise.
Adults
Life doesn’t take a break and neither can your hearing aid. Ear Gear is used by adults all over the world in dirty, dusty, or wet work environments like construction and agriculture. If you love to work in the garden, mow the lawn, or lead an active lifestyle, Ear Gear will quickly become your favorite hearing instrument armor.
It not only protects your hearing aid from damage caused by sweat, dirt, and moisture but also loss by using a stretchy cord and durable locking clip.
Ear Gear significantly reduces annoying wind noise as well while biking the best mountain trails or driving your favorite stretch of road in a convertible. On the golf course, concentrate on getting that hole-in-one without the distraction of wind.
Clearly hear the birds and waterfalls on your next hike, the traffic during your next charity cycling event, or your cheering squad at the marathon finish line.
Available in corded and cordless models, choose the right Ear Gear for your lifestyle.
Seniors
Both active and older seniors enjoy the peace of mind Ear Gear offers as you can always locate hearing instruments and your hearing instruments are protected from damage. Retirement homes are busy places and during routine activities such as room cleanings, bath times, and family visits, your personal items can get misplaced. Assisted Living Professionals and family find that the ongoing frustration of losing hearing aids is significantly reduced with Ear Gear.
Using a stretchy cord and durable locking clip, Ear Gear securely attaches hearing instruments to your clothing making it the perfect accessory for day trips to the mall, church, the park and family gatherings.
The color options also make it easy to correctly identify which hearing aids belong to you.
Perfect for all senior lifestyles, Ear Gear is great at preventing skin irritation with its comfortable soft, spandex material and the added benefits of hearing instrument protection from sweat, dirt, moisture, loss and wind noise.

Great to protect your hearing aid while working out
These are excellent and I will buy a few more because the only drawback is they are small and easy to forget when you are off to the gym.
Scott –
Perfect for Active Hearing Aid Wearers
I bought these to wear over my hearing aids for a job where Iâm working outdoors the entire time. If it rains we still work, so I wanted something to protect my aids until Iâd be able to get something to cover them (a sweatshirt hoodie or rain poncho). Theyâre perfect! Something I didnât expect is that theyâre perfect as well for blocking wind noise. I wear these to work now even if it isnât going to rain.

No more water in the tubes from sweat
I work in a sawmill and every year because of humidity I end up with water in my hearing aid tubes. Or when I wear my earphones. Bought a pack of these and haven’t had that problem since. Id recommend anyone with that type situationto give them a try. Don’t think I’d go swimming or anything but it would be nice to figure a way to make them waterproof.
William Burt –
somewhat awkward to use
They are a bit awkward to slip on the aid and they do make it more difficult to turn them off or change the battery. BUT they do work well to control wind noise.
Thressa Dennis –
Make sure yo order the right size donât guess
I like the texture they feel good little to big but Iâm going to keep them
William Cummins –
Does not improve anything
I bought these in September 2024. These hearing aid covers do not block wind noise at all. When used in riding a bicycle they get wet from sweat and so do not protect the aid from moisture. They are also bulky and make the behind the ear aids stick out and not fit good behind the ear. You have to unscrew the ear hook each time you need to install them or take them off. Nothing good to say about this product.

Big Difference
Makes a huge difference. Sweat no longer causes my batteries to die nor does sweat damage my hearing aids. This was a replacement set as my 12 year old pair was worn out. These also work better than other brands. Work perfectly.

Not the best
This is very difficult to get on your hearing aid. and, it does not protect it a lot from sweat.
