Care and Maintenance
Dehumidifier
The dehumidifier is hearing aid care equipment that
removes daily accumulation of moisture in the hearing
aid. Moisture can damage the internal, electronic
components. For optimum hearing aid care, it is
recommended to use the dehumidifier before retiring
for the night so it will take away moisture overnight.
Read the following instructions carefully.
· After using your hearing aid, wipe off any dirt, dust,
water, or sweat with a soft cloth.
· A tiny packet of silica gel is included in the
dehumidifier. Make sure the lid is on tight. If the lid
is loose or off the case, the silica gel will absorb
moisture from the outside air. Blue silica will slowly
change its color as it absorbs moisture. When it
reaches its saturation point and turns pink, it should
be replaced. If you would like to purchase a new
dehumidifier, ask your dispenser.
