Be Careful Removing Protective Face Masks When Wearing Hearing Aids

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends everyone should be wearing cloth face coverings in public settings, or where other social distancing measures are challenging to maintain (e.g., grocery stores and pharmacies) to protect the public from the COVID 19 coronavirus.

While we at ESCO endorse this practice, we want to pass on a word of caution to our policyholders. Please be extremely careful when you remove your masks while wearing hearing aids. The elastic ear attachments on the masks can catch on your aids, inadvertently removing them – and potentially leading to loss or damage.

You can be confident in case you do have a claim that ESCO is here to help.
