OOPS! I Dropped My Hearing Aids in Water

Have you dropped your hearing aids in the ocean, pool, or shower and noticed you weren’t hearing as clear the next day? Even 0.5ul (microliters) of water could cause up to a major decline in your hearing ability.   

While most major hearing aid manufacturers engineer some water resistance to prevent failure, the function of the aid may dramatically decline as moisture accumulates.  

Dropping your hearing aid on a surface with water is not the only way moisture can get into your hearing aid. Your ear is a humid and dark place making your aids the perfect target for moisture like sweat, to damage the internal workings of your aids. 

All hearing healthcare professionals have access to a remedy for hearing aid failure due to moisture. Gardner Audiology clinics in the Tampa Bay, Florida area have made a major investment in Redux equipment. With our Redux dryer your hearing aids could have a fifty percent chance of being revived. The Redux dryer safely dries and collects the moisture from your hearing aid.  For only $35 per service, you could save hundreds in repair costs later! Gardner Audiology has 10 locations int the Tampa Bay area. Call (800)-277-1182 to inquire about scheduling an appointment.
