The answer

If a woman needs a hearing aid and finds it difficult to remove, and the hearing aid would be damaged by wiping the ears, then there is no harm upon her in omitting the wiping of the inside of the ears and sufficing with wiping the outside. She is not required to perform for this, based on the Almighty’s saying: (Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity).
