Cochlear implants are extraordinary devices, and repairing or replacing them can cost thousands of dollars and weeks of discomfort. Yet life doesn't pause for caution. Kids run, sweat, splash, and tumble. Adults train, travel, and push their limits every single day. For every implant user, young or grown, there's a quiet, persistent anxiety that no one who depends on their hearing should ever have to carry.

Elephant Guards was born from that exact frustration. Our 100% medical-grade hypoallergenic silicone protectors wrap your external processor in a flexible, moisture-resistant shield so you can stop managing fear and start living fully. Whether you're a parent watching your child charge toward the playground, or an adult refusing to let your implant slow you down: Elephant Guards gives you the confidence to move without compromise.

Protection that disappears into your life. Freedom that doesn't.

Keeping Your Elephant Guard Fresh Takes Less Than a Minute

Our silicone protectors are built to be rinsed, reused, and relied upon: day after day, adventure after adventure.

Daily Rinse (After Sweat or Splash Exposure):

  1. Remove the Elephant Guard from your processor
  2. Rinse thoroughly under warm running water
  3. Gently rub with your fingertips to remove any residue, sunscreen, or environmental buildup
  4. Shake off excess water and lay flat or hang to air-dry completely before reuse

Weekly Deep Clean:

  1. Soak in a mild soap solution for 5–10 minutes (fragrance-free dish soap works perfectly)
  2. Rinse thoroughly until no soap residue remains
  3. Air-dry fully before storing or reattaching to your processor

What to Avoid:

  • ❌ No bleach, alcohol, or abrasive cleaners: these degrade silicone over time
  • ❌ No dryer machine, microwave, oven or direct heat drying sources
  • ❌ Never reattach while the inside of the guard is still wet
  • ❌ Not designed for submersion

Storage: Keep in the included pouch or a clean, dry container away from direct sunlight when not in use.

With proper care, your Elephant Guards is designed to last through months of daily active use.

The Sandpit. The Soccer Field. The Morning Run. The Work Trip. We've Got You.

For parents of children with cochlear implants or other processors, there's a specific kind of worry that never fully goes away: watching your child run toward the sprinklers, dive into a pile of leaves, or navigate a crowded school hallway, knowing their processor is exposed to every bump, splash, and grain of sand along the way.

You shouldn't have to choose between protecting the device and letting your child be a child.

And for adult implant users: the ones who refuse to sit on the sidelines, who train, travel, compete, and live without apology: you shouldn't have to choose between protecting your processor and living the life you've built.

Elephant Guards was created for both. The flexible, moisture-resistant silicone shell helps absorb impacts, deflect sweat and splashes, and keep dust and debris away from processors of every model. The acoustically transparent fit means hearing stays sharp and clear: in the classroom, on the field, and everywhere in between.

From a child's first soccer season to an adult's marathon finish line: Elephant Guards moves with you.

One small guard. One enormous peace of mind.
