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 :) http://www.hearinglossweb.com/res/ha/conv/rion.htm ______________________________ lisa_at_cadence90.com bikes, books, internet radio *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

Over the years we have hashed out the drysuit issue at least a couple of times but it has never been put in the PW site. Has anyone saved it so I can pass it to someone who hasn't lived though reading all of this before? I saved it at one point but that machine died with the drysuit on it. I guess the zipper got left open one night.

You can't forward anything from paddlewise without getting the permission of the author of any material being quoted. If what you want to forward contains a reply you would need permission from the person who originally wrote any words being quoted. Forwarding any paddlewise post without permission is grounds for permanant removal from paddlewise. The copyright of any paddlewise post remains with the author of that post. It's up to the author to give explicit permission for the use of any of their material, outside of paddlewise. You'll find this rule on the bottom of each and every paddlewise post. Violation of this rule has been enforced.
