Moisture is a natural enemy to electronic devices. A useful tool in keeping moisture from being a problem is regular use of a dehumidifier. Commercial versions are available and very reasonably priced. The device is simply a container for your hearing aids with built-in, moisture-absorbing chemical beads. The hearing aids are placed in the container anytime they’re not being worn. The beads absorb accumulated moisture and leave the hearing aids dry. The beads eventually become saturated with moisture and many types can be recharged by heating them in a warm oven. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
