RE: [Paddlewise] Hearing Aids & Kayaks

I don't know how serious you are about this whole paddling thing and
whether or not you're in a position to buy a different hearing aid, but
I just did a quick search of AltaVista using the string "waterproof
hearing aid" and received three hits.  I didn't dig deeper than that,
but one mentioned something about swimming with a hearing aid....

Sounds like the technology exists.

An additional thought is that it might be difficult to communicate
_during a class_ without your hearing aids.  There's more verbal
communication that occurs in the typical class scenario than on many
"normal" paddles.
