Hearing Aid Drying Tablets

Hearing aid drying tablets are used with a drying box to remove the moisture your device collects during the day. Regular drying is an important care step for keeping a hearing aid working well for a long time.

Why is moisture a problem?

While you wear a hearing aid, moisture can form in the ear canal from sweating, bathing or humidity in the air. The device can absorb this moisture, which can affect the microphone, receiver and battery contacts and reduce performance. To get the most from your device, you need to remove its moisture regularly.

How to use

• Take the drying tablet out of its pack; place the hearing aid and the tablet in the drying box.
• Turn the lid once to close it tightly.
• For better results, leave the device in the box for a few hours, preferably overnight.
• When drying is finished, take the device out of the box, leave the tablet in the box and close the lid for next time.

For battery-powered devices, taking the battery out and leaving the battery door open before drying helps moisture escape more easily.

When should the tablet be replaced?

After several drying cycles the tablet loses its orange colour and turns white; this shows it is time to replace it with a new one. The old tablet can safely go in your household waste.
