Hello - I'm a newbie here. Planning on taking a sea kayaking course in Seattle this Spring, and concerned about getting my hearing aids wet. Anyone out there wear aids and how do you deal with the possibility of getting dumped? They're expensive tools and don't take well to large amounts of water. It was suggested that I simply not wear them while paddling, just carry them along in a sealable container to wear during lunch stops and camping. This sounds feasible, as it appears there is a lot of noise from wind and surf that impairs the hearing of 'normal' folks. But I'm wondering, is there a safety issue here? Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks! (I posted this question to a sea kayak BBS also - my apologies if this is redundant for any of you.)
