From Pacific Hearing Service (with offices in Menlo Park and Los Altos, California), which is the winner of the 2019 Leo Doerfler Award from the Academy of Doctors of Audiology, comes this advice.

•  Be extra mindful when putting your mask on and taking it off.
•  Immediately check that both hearing aids are in place after putting your mask on or taking it off.
• If your hearing aids are smartphone compatible, make sure you have the correct hearing aid app downloaded so that you can track their location.
• We recommend changing the location services for the hearing aid app to “Always” so it will always track your location whether you are using the app or not, if you feel comfortable with those privacy settings.
