Moisture is Your Hearing Aids' Biggest Enemy

No product lasts forever, and that includes your hearing aids. However, the most effective way to lengthen the life of your device is to protect it from moisture.

No product lasts forever, and that includes your hearing aids. However, the most effective way to lengthen the life of your device is to protect it from moisture. Exposure to moisture is, in fact, one of the biggest threats to your hearing aids, with approximately 60% of out-of-warranty repairs being due to moisture damage. Although hearing aids are built to withstand the rugged environment of your ear, they are still high-level technology that can malfunction if not properly cared for.

You should be sure to keep your hearing aids out of moist or damp environments. Fortunately, commercial-grade drying services, like Redux, are available to help when you accidentally drop your hearing aids in a puddle. It’s also vital to have your devices cleaned on a regular basis in order to optimize performance and extend their lifespan. Be sure to take your hearing aids to an audiologist for a “clean and check” periodically.
