Advice: etiquette rehearing aids

Hi.

I think this is a “would I be the asshole” type question.

I have a friend, yes fwb, they are deaf and use a hearing aid.

I’m not sure how appropriate it is for me to ask them about their aids. I do try to be mindful, but maybe forgetting as often as I’m remembering.

And then more specifically. While we were intimate I was close to their ear. And the aid was giving a lot of feedback.

It was annoying, I’ll be honest. But I also don’t want to make a huge deal about it if it’s something that is just going to happen.

I’m sure they were also aware of the feedback. But I didn’t want to ruin the moment because it wasn’t really important enough.

I’m just wondering, if in the future, if this same situation arises, is it appropriate to point out?

I don’t want to hurt their feelings. And if being told about it is the preferred, I’ll do that.

TLDR: was fucking my fwb who uses hearing aids. They were giving off feedback in my ear. Would I be the asshole in the future if I asked them to adjust their aid?

Edit:

A little bit of confusion. I noticed the feedback while we were busy. I didn’t bring it up during the act. And I wanted to get a bigger picture of it.

Thank you for all your responses. It does ultimately sound like a conversation that is dependent on the individual and my personal relationship to them. It is not an every time thing. I only noticed it last time for the first time.

I don’t know if it is relevant. I am austistic and sometimes noises can be triggering. And I’m still trying to figure out how to negotiate somethings. But also try to be understanding and hold myself responsible. My friend already does so much and I don’t want to rely too much on them for being my only source of education on the topic. I can generally handle somethings for a bit. But it can also trigger a “meltdown”. And it is not my friend’s fault. And while I’m learning to navigate myself I do want to make sure I’m not causing pain/hurt.

I definitely don’t want them to feel like I’m annoyed or angry or anything.
