Oh, yeah. Back when I was a hard-of-hearing beekeeper, putting my hat with the net on and off in the fields with lots of high grass lost me more hearing aids than my insurance could keep up with.
That sucks! I hope you can get another one soon. When I was 12 years old, someone stole my box case and left on the streets and a car ran over it. I got lucky because I put my hearing aids inside my backpack.
