- Q. Someone who uses a removable hearing aid during the week but not on Shabbos, and forgot to take it off before the beginning of Shabbos, can it be removed during Shabbos ? How?
A. He should ask a gentle Gentile to remove it. In need he may hold on to it in an uncommon way (shinui) like with unusual fingers and pull his head away.
