As with any electronic device, moisture in hearing aids can be cause for complete ruin. Hearing aids are not meant to be worn in the shower, or while swimming, and they can even be damaged if someone is a somewhat “sweaty” person. Living in humid areas of the country can cause damage to hearing aids as well.
1. How To Remove Moisture From Hearing Aids
As with any electronic device, moisture in
hearing aids can be cause for complete ruin.
Hearing aids are not meant to be worn in the
shower, or while swimming, and they can
even be damaged if someone is a somewhat
“sweaty” person. Living in humid areas of
the country can cause damage to hearing aids as well.
In order to avoid moisture damage to your hearing aids, it is
essential to “prevent” damage by always using a dri-aid kit. A dri-
aid kit is a tiny box with a pouch of desiccant beads, much like
the tiny desiccant packets that are often found in new shoes,
purses etc. These desiccant beads serve to absorb moisture and
thus pull it away from the hearing aids.
So, to keep your hearing aids lasting a long time, it is wise to
invest in a dri-aid kit. You can purchase these from your
audiologist or you can likely find them online as well. Keep in
mind they often need to be re-activated to keep the beads fresh,
so be sure to read the instructions thoroughly to ensure you are
getting the most out of your dri-aid kit.
And, as always, if you do accidentally wear your hearing aids in
the water, don’t try to dry them out with anything extreme like
hair dryers or microwaves. Just remove the battery, open the
battery door, and place the hearing aids in the dri-aid kit for a
couple of days. Give them time to completely dry out. Then, try
inserting a new battery and hopefully you will be back in business
with no major damage.
