@katherinebouton. I had phonaks and one of the features of them was that they could withstand a brief submersion. Then I got Oticcons and my audiolologist had a rep from Oticon in Saratoga NY come here two times to work with me because I was having so many problems with them. It turned out that they were defective so they sent me new ones. When she was here I asked her about the water and she said they too could withstand a brief submersion, and actually one has. I have power ear molds and I was tole they will not deal well with water but the submersion was brief enough that it was OK too.
My screen name is because I am post-liver transplant, and after going through that and what led up to it, I am now “content and well”. I had a remarkable recovery.
