# A person who is hard of hearing may wear a hearing-aid on [[Shabbat]], even in a public domain without an eruv. One need not be concerned with considerations of electricity or [[carrying]] as long as the hearing-aid is securely in his ear, and he turned it on before [[Shabbat]] and leaves it on until after [[Shabbat]]. <ref>Shemirat [[Shabbat]] Kehilchata (perek 18 halacha 14), Yalkut Yosef (siman 328 seif 328 and siman 301 seif 38). See footnote 39 there where he quotes Hacham Ovadiah, Rav Shlomoh Zalman Auerbach, Rav Henkin, and the Tzitz Eliezer who ruled leniently as well. </ref> | # A person who is hard of hearing may wear a hearing-aid on [[Shabbat]], even in a public domain without an eruv.

==Cane and Wheelchair== | |||
# Someone who can't walk without a cane may walk in a public domain with the cane. <ref>Tosfot (Shabbat 65b s.v. hakiteya) even writes that on Shabbat it is permitted for someone who needs a cane to walk to go out with it to a public domain on Shabbat since it is like shoes for him. Rashba (Beitzah 25b s.v. ein) and Ran (Beitzah 14a s.v. gemara tanu) agree with Tosfot. The Shitah Mikubeset (Beitzah 25b s.v. vekatav mori) quotes the Radvaz who argues with Tosfot but concludes that he doesn't feel confident to reject the ruling of Rabbenu Tam that it is permitted. Shulchan Aruch OC 301:17 accepts the opinion of Tosfot.</ref> If the person walks at home without a cane and only uses a cane outside he may not walk with it in a public domain on Shabbat.<ref>Mishna Brurah 301:64</ref> Someone who could walk without a cane but because it is icy outside he is afraid of slipping, it is forbidden to walk out with a cane unless there is an eruv.<ref>Mishna Brurah 301:65. Birkei Yosef 301:3 writes that if it is muddy out and one wants to use a cane not to slip one may not use a cane except in a private domain.</ref> | |||
# A wheelchair is different from a cane and even if a person can't walk without a wheelchair he may not go out with a wheelchair on Shabbat to a public domain.<ref>Rav Paalim 1:25, Minchat Yitzchak 2:114, Shemirat Shabbat Khilchata (ch. 34 fnt. 101)</ref> | |||
