[Paddlewise] Waterproof hearing aids

Hi, Dave, Paddlewiseguys,

I saw this, about a waterproof hearing aid from a Japanese company; I
gather it is available in the US. 

My dad just got two hearing aids -- he lost some of his hearing to
scarlet fever as a kid, but then, distressingly, lost almost all of his
hearing in one ear literally overnight.  Fortunately, his hearing aids
have restored his hearing to a level that's almost as good as before.
Not waterproof, though!

Here's the link for those of you who are interested.  They're apparently
even used in diving, so they must be pretty tough.  I wonder -- do they
float?  Maybe they need a little lanyard attachment grommet :)
