How does a drying box work?

Drying products work by placing your hearing aids in their ideal environment while at the same time making sure moisture from either the outside world or from within the hearing aid itself is removed preventing avoidable damage, they also help protect your hearing aids from damage that might ensue from being dropped or knocked thanks to their locked environment.

What causes moisture to build up in a hearing aid?

If a hearing aid is working for several hours each day even in the seemingly safe environment of your home, when they are turned off and cool rapidly this will also create moisture on the internal workings of the hearing aid, this in turn can cause the hearing aid to not work properly and even critically damage it in the form of corrosion of the wiring and the components.

How does moisture affect my hearing aid?

The corrosion on the battery and circuitry components stopped the electrical current flowing resulting in them having parts of the hearing aid or the entire thing having to be replaced which would be expensive and time consuming for the average user.

If the microphone and receiver are dry it takes less power to drive the diaphragm and by requiring less power the hearing aid battery has to work less hard increasing its lifespan.
