Ohh I feel for you! I’ve "lost* mine twice and.irs the most dreadful panicked feeling took me 3 hours of hunting everywhere and they were on the floor in my. Bedroom! The colour was a perfect match to my carpet and also pebble stones outside I’d taken them out to use headphones this was pre Bluetooth and I never had connecting devices since they were nhs ones. After that I made 100% sure to make sure I left them in a dish or case and told my husband never ever move them unless it seems like they may fall or something spilt or I go into a panic.
Years ago my childhood dog took my hearing aids off a fireplace and took them into the garden. Woke up to blind fear as I had always left them in one exact spot took my parents scouring everywhere when my mother found them in the grass outside, she didn’t chew them just carried them outside. After that we put them up on a high bookshelf she never did it before or again.
Now I always place my current aids in the charger or if I want to keep them safe from paint, dirt or sweat during work or moisture I have a larger hard hearing aid case from some very old aids I no longer have. They go in that and are placed in a zipped part of my handbag or on a counter in the room I work in. I work alone so hearing aids aren’t always needed when doing super nasty cleaning apartments work or painting them.
If I’m swimming the aids go in the box and are locked in the car in the glovebox with the car locked and in full view…it’s rare to swim but sometimes my husband does take us to our local lake on a hot day.
