A control cover for a hearing aid is shown that prevents accidental changes in adjustment. The configurations of openings in the shield portion of the novel control cover substantially prohibit access of a typical human finger from an external side of a shield portion to an internal side of the shield portion. At the same time, the control cover shown allows a tool to access the internal side of the shield portion with the control cover in place. One embodiment of the control cover includes an attachment device that is only installed once, and does not need to be removed for adjustments to the variable control. The attachment device of the control cover will therefore not wear, and will not loosen over time. One embodiment further integrates the control cover with the hearing aid body, thus completely eliminating a possible detachment and loss of the control cover.
