HEY! I finally got my Phonak Audeo Life AIDS yesterday!!! They were a couple weeks late due to the silicone custom molds I had put on over the speakers. Well worth the wait!
Today I took a SHOWER with these aids ON!!! This is the first time I’ve heard running water gushing over my head since I was like … 14? I dunno. It’s been DECADES!!!
The aids didn’t even sound a bit different as I lathered up my hair, washed the suds off, took my time, LAH-DI-DAH!
Got out of the shower, aids still ROCK STEADY, you betcha! For good measure, tho, I put them in my new ReDux hearing aid dehumidifier. To my surprise, it took almost 18 minutes in the ReDux to pull 4.9 uL of moisture out of the aids. WOW.
That intrigued me cuz I was wondering if these Audeo Life aids are “waterproof” does that mean you can’t pull water out of them either? It appears you can! I’ll pop 'em in the ReDux again tomorrow BEFORE taking the shower just to see what the reading is.
Main thing is… OMG! Can these aids be the answer to my prayers? To HEAR in WATER? If so, my next test is to take a swim in the pool - but that has to wait another few weeks till the 9-month long pool remodeling project from HE!! is over. I still can’t use the pool. After which I’ll jump in the ocean here - why not?
I have a 60-day trial on the aids, so I want to do everything Dr Cliff did to see if I can BUST 'EM before I decide to keep 'em. I am ecstatic so far tho!
