Sakin Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 Hi Everybody, Unfortunately, sonnet 2 is very vulnerable to sweat and moisture. Especially the coil and cable fail very quickly. In the summer, I can hardly use the device. What precautions do you take to protect it from sweat and humidity, apart from putting it in the drying container every evening?

Hicksy Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 I wonder if a ear gear cover may help. Wouldn't hurt to try. That must be extremely frustrating. Sakin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted May 17 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted May 17 @Sakin Are you using a DL-coil or a D-coil with your Sonnet2? The DL-coil design seems to be better with moisture and the cables are lasting much longer than the OPUS2 cables did for me. EarGear covers can protect the BTE processor section. I suppose you could put the coil in a Rondo eargear cover but it would be very loose fitting. Sakin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakin Posted May 18 Author Report Share Posted May 18 Thanks for your suggestions, I will try. Yes Mary, I am using DL-coil. You're right, the cable is more durable than that of the opus. However, where I live is by the sea and it is quite hot. So I inevitably sweat a lot, that's the problem. So I need to protect it from sweat and moisture.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted May 18 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted May 18 @Sakin I have seen various decorations or reinforcements for CI cables online but none of them are water protection. If I see something, I will post Sakin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted May 18 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted May 18 @Sakin EarGear does have a sweat protector for CI coils https://www.gearforears.com/products/ear-gear-coil Sakin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakin Posted May 18 Author Report Share Posted May 18 These seem appropriate for Sonnet 2. Any comments from friends on the forum are welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted May 18 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted May 18 @Sakin Some people like the BTE eargear covers for Sonnets and others find those covers make the Sonnet too bulky to fit comfortably behind their ears Sakin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
