A support for a behind-the-ear hearing aid, including a body and a sound tube that includes at least one pad positioned underneath the behind-the-ear hearing aid, and at least one attachment mechanism that connects the at least one pad to the behind-the-ear hearing aid. This support device can also include a moisture guard that includes a sweat pad located underneath the body of the behind-the-ear hearing aid and also includes a muffler pad located adjacent to the microphone of the hearing aid and is attached to the sound tube of the behind-the-ear hearing aid wherein the at least one attachment mechanism further includes a first attachment mechanism to attach the sweat pad underneath the body of the behind-the-ear hearing aid and a second attachment mechanism to attach the muffler pad to the sound tube and adjacent to the microphone of the behind-the-ear hearing aid. The support and sweat pads can, but are not necessarily, made of foam. The optimal first attachment mechanism is made of VELCRO(R), however, any of a wide variety of elastomeric bands may be used instead. The second attachment mechanism is in the form of sleeving or tubing with an optional slit down the longitudinal axis. The optimal material is polyethylene.
