Cochlear Corporation's Instructions for Installing The Hearing Aid Sweat Band™ Wind, Weather and Moisture Protection Socklet on the ESPrit 22,24, or 3G

Many recipients have found The Hearing Aid Sweat Band™ to have a benefit when wearing their Cochlear BTE or BW (body worn headset) during active/strenuous sports activities…..or in very high-humidity situations (walking the seashore, fishing).

To date, the individuals using The Hearing Aid Sweat Band™ report:

  • it helps to reduce wind-noise
  • it repels water
  • it should protect the microphone/product from lightly splashy/sweaty situations

We have tested the sound-dampening characteristics of The Hearing Aid Sweat Band™ in our sound booth here....and it does result in a 1.5 - 2dB dampening. Most recipients state that this change is barely noticeable.

Use the following brief instructions as tips to install The Hearing Aid Sweat Band™ on the Cochlear BTE. After participating in the sporting activity of your choice, please follow the manufacturer’s directions for cleaning and reuse.

With the speech processor or headset covered in this fashion, the amount of perspiration, salts, mist, condensation (just from walking from outside into air-conditioning) should be reduced.
