The Era™ platform BTE hearing instruments from Unitron have passed the IP57 (Ingress Protection) rating at an accredited third party laboratory for protection against dust and water.
The Ingress Protection rating is an international standard used to specify the environmental protection of electrical equipment. The rating has two numbers:
#1 indicates protection from solid objects or materials
#2 indicates protection from liquids (water)
The IP test demonstrates the robustness of a hearing instrument when exposed to day-to-day stresses, as well as performance under extreme conditions.
