This. Moisture is the mortal enemy of hearing aids. Wet hair OR being in the bathroom during a shower are each enough moisture to make many HAs fritz out. Both together are easily enough to cause problems with any HA with replaceable batteries.
OP, when you got your hearing aids, were there instructions about care & cleaning? They often stop working if they get damp. The usual procedure is to remove the batteries, open the battery door, and pop them in some kind of dehumidifier device.
The standard method is a dehumidifier jar like this one with silica pellets that absorb moisture. There are fancier electric dehumidifiers with fans, but you'd need to make sure you get the right type for your specific HAs. The jar will work with anything.
OP, recommend that you remove the batteries, leave the battery door open, and leave your HAs someplace dry overnight. A gentle fan nearby to create some air circulation is helpful, but don't point a big box fan straight at them. In the morning, put in new batteries and see if they work again.
Next time, leave your HAs outside the bathroom while you shower and don't put them back in until your hair and ears are dry.
I'm a first time HA user and just got BTE RIC HAs. I'm going to try this:
Definintely checkEar Gear!
Try getting him one of those personal amplified things. They have a microphone and an amplifier for the headphones. They cost very little and eventually I got my Mother to understand that her TV was painfully loud and she used it while we were there anyway.
Maybe this? My Mother didn't like headphones so I got her those hook behind the ear pads things. She did have hearing aids but wouldn't use them, sigh.
An audiologist can give you more information but...
1) Many people see improvement just using hearing aids.
2) A lot of the on-board T technology is in the form of white-noise masking.
3) Signia also has some kind of "notch" therapy.
4) Widex uses fractal tones for its tinnitus therapy
Wides, btw, has a free app that is very similar to its T therapy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.widex.tinnitus&gl=US&pli=1
I had good results with Earwax MD. Its an ear drop that dissolves the ear wax. I usually lie on my side and have my family put a few drops in and let it sit for 20 minutes. Then use the rinsing blub to squirt some water to dislodge any remaining earwax.
https://www.amazon.com/Earwax-MD-Removal-Cleaning-Dissolving/dp/B06XCZYSP2
WIdex actually has a free app that streams a lot of tonal music similar to its fractal tones used for tinnitus: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.widex.tinnitus.
I find listening to this pretty soothing. It seems to help my tinnitus in the way a masker does.
I don't think the tones in the free app are random, though, but they have the same feel as the fractal tone tool.
Try this. It lets you bt to your hearing aids and still have Tv speaker audio on. Also if you’re watching by yourself and you have a Roku, many of them have private listening that can provide the audio to your phone which BT’s to your ha’s. I have both. Used the transmitter when I had cable boxes. 1Mii B06TX Bluetooth 5.0... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0838YPSZT?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
>Resound ONE
These are VERY sweat resilient to the point that one of mine spent time at the bottom of my pool without damage. The receiver is the part where you'll have most problems with moisture and oil bubbles.
Although I bought mine at Costco for about half the price, two cycles after the pool incident and nightly is what keeps mine running:
for music try Personal Sound Amplification Products, which are simply amplifiers with noise suppression. this PSAP has worker better for me than Phonak or Bose HAs. the PSAP I linked is probably not the best, but works great for me. I have no financial interest in any of this. I think it's smart to at least try a pair of PSAPs for under $100. I swear I have spent thousands on guitar amplifiers and pedals trying to find a sound that good with no success. Walker's makes more expensive PSAPs for hunters
I just bought a paid of these and they are working very well. I have seen two audiologists and had Phonaks prescribed, but these Amazon ones work even better to my ear. What do you think about this? I was very surprised they work so well.
I play acoustic guitar and lust after a tone that sounds deep, rich, and overcomes my moderate hearing loss. I use a Phonak in-the-ear and a Bose behind-the-ear and tried a very expensive Phonak BTE. Just for the hell of it a I bought a pair of $45 hearing aids on Amazon the other day. They amplify and provide four levels of "noise cancellation." I expected they would be pretty bad but might work as backup and be interesting with the guitar. After several days of wearing them, I declare they are better than all the others in all environments tried so far. Guitar sounds great, my wife's voice sounds wonderful, natural sounds sound the way they should sound (for me). Here is the link to what I bought. I think everyone with hearing loss should at least try cheap HAs from Amazon or wherever. The ones I bought are not even the most popular. I have no financial interest in any of them.
I have Widex rechargeables. They charge with a standard micro USB cable, which will plug into a battery brick, no problem.
So you could get something like this, the HAs don't require that much of a charge, it should last a week
Has anyone investigated solar charging devices? I should think that a low-grade trickle charge should keep the Resound charging device "topped off". That coupled with the resound device's 3 day charging capacity should make for a workable solution.
I have the same HA.
These work for me

No my audiologist didn't recommend anything except waiting for another six-month to see if they gained the same amount of moisture. Here's one I've been looking at https://www.amazon.com/PerfectDry-Dehumidifier-Accessory-Ultraviolet-Amplifiers/dp/B096BMPS64
I got this model (bought it on sale for for about what the pods cost) a few months back. It's UV and uses desiccant to dry them. I use it on my rechargeables by charging them up beforehand, then I UV them for the moment or two it runs.
I can't speak to the drying. It has the pods that do that, but I live in such low humidity there's nothing to dry out unless it rains or something. I haven't been caught in anything that would get them wet. Yet. But there aren't any complaints about it not drying. For that matter there aren't many complaints at all and only 33 total ratings.
You definitely do not need to remove the dome every day, just occasionally. The wax cap should be a tiny white piece in the middle of the dome, when you remove the dome it stays attached to the receiver. Your audiologist should have given you a set of replacements, they look like this (depends on the brand you have).

Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/OKUPAN-Extender-Elastic-Protector-Adjustable/dp/B08FLHRK5T/ allows any mask to be secured around the back of the head. Waaay more comfortable ✅ Does not mess with hearing aids ✅
Not an expert, so take that into account.
I think it sounds like some stuff may have gotten into the mics. Possibly because of the wind. Not sure if you can clean it out yourself or not. It may require you to get them in to the audiologist to get clean. Might not even be the problem, but since you mentioned extreme wind.....
Speaking of which, to handle the near constant wind that I encounter when I'm out (a good bit of it fierce) I bought a couple of pairs of these and love them. I bought 2 pair so I can change and hand wash them every week and still have some to use while the others dry. You may or may not want something like that. If you do, pay attention and measure right or you may end up with some too long (can be cut, but leaves an opening between layers) or too short (still may work depending on location of the mics). Measurement's easy, and they illustrate it down the page.
I actually track via spreadsheet how long my batteries last on each aid and then i can predict somewhat by averages, when the battery needs to be replaced (3rd day vs 5th day, for example).
Many years ago i actually had a keyring attachment that i could put two batteries in. Have you tried one of those?

Hi, don’t know how big you’re talking but these charms are about 3.5 inches which are pretty big.

Mine are BTE and can't answer most of those. However for itching use an oil to relieve it. I used to get a lot of itching and infections because I use domes and the right one was too big. Now I use a small one and the infections are gone. But I still get an itch once in awhile. I just had my third one since November. I used to get them once a week for a couple of days, I'd sometimes get one that lasted a week or more. Now the three I've had in just short of 7 months were relieved the same day.
Sweet oil is cheap if you can find it. It used to be plentiful in drug stores, but I don't know now. Amazon sells it. I've been using this one that I bought in 2019 and it finally expires in a few days. That brand says use 3-10 drops. But I rub it on the dome and that works. Now that mine's expiring I'll probably go with sweet oil myself because it's supposed to be helpful with wax, too.
That’s frustrating. HR should help you figure out what accomodation they can do to help. Would something like this work? Uses the audio out to create the BT. Your aids are basically headsets. I’ve got an audio to BT transmitter that’s a little bigger that I use for my TV.

Reviewer must be an iPhone user. Android users are having a lot of Bluetooth connectivity issues especially since the Android operating system update in late 2021. See the Google Play Store reviews: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.resound.smart3d&hl=en\_US&gl=US&showAllReviews=true
I dunno about the 9, but I got a new GN Resound ONE for my right ear (I have single sided sensorineural hearing loss). I paid $3250 for it including the charging box thing (it's a rechargeable version, not the one where you swap batteries.) This only includes one hearing aide, not a pair. One thing to warn you of, the Bluetooth connection on these things is pretty terrible so I can put my phone in my opposing (left) pocket and it will struggle to maintain connection. In addition this past month Android upgraded their OS and it broke the already bad Bluetooth connection so that it will no longer reconnect to the app. For a while I was re-pairing it multiple times a day to the phone, but lately I have been able to get it re-paired by toggling Airplane Mode off and on. This seems to be an Android only issue so if you're an iPhone user you're probly fine. This appears to be a widespread issue, see the latest reviews on the Smart 3D app on the Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.resound.smart3d&hl=en_US&gl=US. Because it is a widespread known issue that affects a lot of Android users I hope that Resound will have a fix soon, but I'm used to iPhone users getting preferential treatment by app developers.
You can close them when you charge! Do you have little orange filled silica discs in your charger? It would be in the top part of the case where that green circle with little holes is! If you have that disc in there it acts like a dryer and you can just close the charger at night! Keeps them dry and safe. It's also the best way to reduce moisture and it sounds like you make a lot of wax or sweat in the ears (which is normal!). That's also the best option because it charges them and dries them. Most audiology offices sell them and if not here's the Amazon link!

And here's the video to show you how to change it! https://youtu.be/htcoyiaudM4
As for the programming, I would say just keep trying changes and find what works best for you. Maybe you need a custom program for that environment. I would say describe the environment and sounds you don't want to hear and see if you can get a custom program made and keep trying with it!
I have Kirkland KS10 (Phonak) and they work very well. I use covers on mine to block wind rushing noises (Ear Gear). Because of those I occasionally get a little staticky sound every now and again. Rarely, but it happens. Before I started using the covers I never heard static. Now since it's so rare I'd rather have that than being unable to hear because of winds or breezes. Where I am there's almost always some kind of air movement that can disrupt conversations.
Some Bluetooth transmitters support this. Here's one on Amazon that does. Basically connect the transmitter to the TV audio and it will route to both Bluetooth and your soundbar.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D1JJBJR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apan_glt_i_F34X8ASYJ0VKY2FD1FZQ
I also have been looking for an inexpensive tv streamer. The $375 my audiologist wants for the Phonak TV streamer is really hard to swallow. That's not a hit of the device it's great has no latency so I can balance the streaming volume and the environmental volume so my wife's happy with what she hears and we can still have a conversation.
I picked up one of these that another person on this reddit recomended.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0838YPSZT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This transmitter has latency so if I turn the streaming down so I can talk to my wife I can also hear the TV speakers and it results in an echo like sound that's not very pleasant.
So I guess what I'm asking is there any latency with the device your using. Notice I'd never get my wife to use headphones so she'll need to use the TV speakers and I'd be streaming with a volume low enough for us to have a conversation.
Appreciate your help.
I wear a bandanna when I have to wear any kind of mask. Which I almost never do. And try to avoid even when they tell me I have to. You just have to remember to tie a know (not too tight) or the bandanna will work loose.
They make little gizmos you can attach to the ends of masks so they go around your head rather than over the ears. Here's a page full of them. I personally don't care for the ones like this. I had some extenders like that and they didn't work so well. The ends of the mask strings kept coming off no matter how I wound them around.
Despite being described as extenders, most of them are adjustable enough to hold them securely. They leave enough room on the strings to pull them away from your head and HAs.
I have the Phonak connector. I bought it used on eBay. Still pricey compared to other stuff (more on that).
It works good. But one thing I didn't like is when the sound stops for 60 seconds, the audio disconnects. Probably to save HA battery. It connects again automatically. But I stream recorded TV and movie stuff. If I get interrupted and come back, it takes several seconds before the connection is restored. So I end up either losing some stuff or I back the playback up (almost always too far) to get it going again.
I found that to be too much of a nuisance. So I got on Amazon and found this device. It was cheaper new than the Phonak was used. And it doesn't disconnect at all unless I put the HAs in the charger, I get too far out of range or I turn it off. The downside is the HA batteries drain a bit faster. But I was willing to live with that since I don't watch enough to drain them completely and I can quickly recharge them enough to use them for normal stuff.
There was another model of the same thing that was cheaper I also bought to hook to my computer. It looked exactly like the one in the link, but it didn't have the digital audio connection the one above has that I don't need. But they replaced that with another one I can't vouch for.
Update: SUCCESS! Found this on Amazon for $31.44. Works great with my Phonak P90s.
Simple hookup. Turned HA’s off/on and they paired immediately. I’m adjusting the volume using toggle switch on the HA’s. So far it sounds great. My wife is using her BT headphones simultaneously. Thanks for all the help folks.
I think getting one with over the ear headphones and a phone jack connector (rather than a 2.5mm plug) would likely have better sound quality?
I use Kirkland KS10s, which are Phonak HAs. I have the Phonak streamer I bought used on eBay (still high-priced) and it works well with one exception. If I stop the audio for 60 seconds or more, the connection times out. I usually stream stuff. So I have to restart the play, back up several seconds and hit play again to get the audio to start again and either still lose a little bit or replay some of what I watched. I see it as a hassle. When it times out it doesn't require manually connecting again. But, like I say, it does take a little time to reconnect.
I bought this bluetooth streamer for less and t doesn't timeout. Since I use two TVs at different times, I bought another one very much like this, but about $20 cheaper for the other TV. I works well, too, but they don't seem to offer the same thing now and replaced it with this item. The one I bought the second time looked exactly like the other one, but had one minor (to me) difference in audio input possibilities.
I presume Phonak did the timeout trick to save some HA battery life. Both in constant use (no timeouts at all) will use the batteries up fairly quickly and at about the same rate. But the ones I bought from Amazon eat the power up a little quicker if there are listening pauses since it stays connected and ready. So that's something you may consider, though I don't see a significant enough difference to worry about the modest savings.
Since I stopped using the Phonak completely I may just sell it off cheap at some point.
I use Audinell once every couple weeks followed by a Peroxide rinse. Keeps earwax to a minimum for me.
There are also these pink desiccant tablets that you can use, and those don't care which direction you put them in. I wasn't 100% satisfied with this solution, so I bought a case (from Phonak) that has a built-in fan which runs while they charge, and whisks away the humidity. If you have Phonak HAs, this case is great. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B098XWQC9V
Late reply but I just got some hearing aids and might have a monitoring (but probably not transmitting) solution for you - although it is expensive (couple hundred $US). If your Oticons are compatible with the ConnectClip, then you can use that to connect to your Anytone. The ConnectClip will also allow the Oticons to connect to any other regular bluetooth devices.
I don't know if the ConnectClip will act as a microphone for this, or if you will still need to use the mic on the radio (or on a speakermic).
I use a slightly different solution because my radios don't have bluetooth. Gear I use:
The hearing aids are connected via BLE to the ConnectClip as usual. The ConnectClip can connect via regular BT to the AirFly. The AirFly plugs into the speaker jack on your radio or speakermic. The AirFly is stereo, and most speaker jacks are mono, so I use the adapter in between so the audio will play in both ears. (You could also use a splitter to stream two separate radios, one in each ear!)

I bought this. Works good, a little audio lag on some of my Xfinity channels but not all. Works fine on my Roku streaming. I have it plugged into my optical port on my TV, so I can't control the volume, but i can adjust the volume in my Phonak app by sliding the balance more toward exterior vs streaming. Works good for the price and connects pretty quick. I find i prefer this over streaming the Roku to my phone where it seems to drop audio sometimes that way, but using this transmitter I haven't had audio drop outs.

Hey, first of all: welcome to the community and great that you have found such a great amount of help in your HA.
I personally coped with the sadness by talking to a lot of people, looking at how much they help and by making a lot of jokes about it. So if you want to talk my DM's are always open.
You could fix the mask issues by buying some mask extenders like these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B087M6KVY2?pd_rd_i=B087M6KVY2&pd_rd_w=TprpM&pf_rd_p=c74907da-bb78-4ad8-a49b-61d6f41ade51&pd_rd_wg=mksP8&pf_rd_r=EEJBYVJJKGC2WZY1T6BC&pd_rd_r=3282450b-0878-4387-bfe3-e939e755a2b6
ReSound LiNX Quattro hearing aids were made for iPhone, and I stream everything, no problem. I think the sound is excellent, although for my hearing loss one side is worse, so I change the balance to help the bar ear. I like the sound variety from https://mynoise.net which I even use all night for sleep. The lithium battery only goes down about 12% all night.
Reading your post, I can't quite tell if you're talking about rechargable hearing aids (with built-in batteries that are rechargable) or removable, rechargable batteries, like these below that I'm looking at for my Starkey Halos.
Can you elaborate, please?

Also have one of these. For loose wax debris and for moisture it works well. You don't need to fit this into the vent hole entirely if yours are extremely small. Just as close as you can so the air goes through.

Try the dental pick or needle. Maybe you can snap the splinter with those tools so it's easier to remove. Though of course be gentle. Your audiologist almost certainly has a Jodi brand or similar vacuum they use to clean devices that will also help.
Once fixed, pick up one of these, I'm sure you can find a similar set in Europe. The middle tool has a thin, flexible line that's perfect for cleaning out the vent tube you're using the splinter for currently.

I find these Srhythm Headphones quite comfortable over my hearing aids. Good sound, not too expensive. Though I just use them for music. I also have my ReSound hearing aids connected to my smartphone for phone calls
I use Etymotic ER20s for concerts and whatnot, they would definitely reduce the volume of the fire drill/alarm. They can get pretty loud if you need to be close to them. Otherwise, any foam earplug will help too. Just don't wear them all day in anticipation of a random fire drill. If you know it's coming, you can put them in beforehand, but otherwise just slip them in as you exit the building (or whatever is mandated by your employer).
Sound is not great, better for talking podcasts than music. Plus, volume on my Resound HA's can't be loud enough to overcome, say, a radio someone else is playing close by.
For music, I prefer a pair of inexpensive 'Over The Ear' headphones. These fit comfortably over my ears even with my behind the ear hearing aids on. And the noise cancelling feature makes mowing the lawn more of a pleasure.
I use eyewear retainers like these to lift the temples of the glasses up and off the top of my ears. It's as simple as attaching them to the glasses and tightening them up.
I had the same issue, but then I replaced the neck loop and it seemed to work. Found them on Amazon for $25. If that doesn't work you should take it to your audiologist to get it looked at
I found a pill holder that goes on a key chain where I keep batteries. I have one on my keychain and one on my backpack.

I don't work for the company but I feel like I do since I mention these whenever this topic comes up! I'm a first-time HA user and I'm terrified of losing them. Mine also cost 6K. I don't love the earring that hangs from the holster, but I can remove it and put something I like on the front below the earring hook. I just ordered them. It's going to be annoying to have one more thing to hang from my ears and I already have glasses, long hair and HAs and masks, but it's worth it to hold onto my HAs.
Do you have a regular ear piercing? If so, check this out:
I'm going to buy something like this. The jewelry hanging from the holster is not my style, but I can remove it and add an earring I like to the front part that hangs from the ear piercing. I know it's one more thing to hang from the ear (and I already have long hair and glasses, so adding a mask and a HA plus an earring is a lot), but I am going to try it and see if it helps me hold onto my HAs. They're too expensive to lose!

Been using this mask from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089FPT7YM
It has a filter insert, seems very durable. When I bike I put the lower strap up over the crown of my head head and the upper strap straight back past the top of my ears so that the two straps criss-cross directly over the top front of the HAs and I don’t worry about losing them when going at high speed or over rough terrain, or when it’s just real gusty.
The straps are also fully hidden under the helmet that way, not that it matters but my kids tell me that it looks cool, so there’s that.
Edit: spelling
Never heard of anything with hot air but I would 100% avoid this.
Most electronic driers usually use UV light with ventilation to remove moisture. I assume you are referring to these, for example.
Otherwise desiccant works well too and don’t require power, so perfect for travelling! SoundnDry are the ones I prefer because they can actually be regenerated with heat! This bypasses the long term costs and much cheaper than the electronic kits.

I had purchased others first (they were prettier), but I had to return them because they didn't fit my melon sized head.
They sound good, and are comfortable, battery life is good. I would say the Bass isn't quite as good as similarly priced ear buds, but they aracceptable in that regard, and significantly better than hearing aid streaming. Extremely comfortable since they don't sit in or on the ears themselves.
