Bernafon Hearing Aid

My Bernafon hearing aid leaked in the shower, and broke within the first month of ownership. That said I was told not to go into the shower with it. It is however comfortable to wear and easily forgotten. The manual however claim that the Benafon hearing aid has an "International Protection Rating - IP 68 which is the highest rating according to SANS 10142 I quote, Protected against long periods of immersion under pressure greater than 1 meter., which is patently not true in my case, I have emailed Benafon, but received no reply. As I cannot currently afford to pay the R5k plus to have it repaired, I has to pay a refusal of repair fee.to get my broken hearing aid back.
