How to maintain hearing aids in winter

I don’t sweat in winter, isn’t my hearing aid not so frequent??If you have such an idea, it is a big mistake. As the weather turns cold, we will encounter another big problem with hearing aids – condensate.

First of all, what is condensed water??Let me give you an example. Our friends with glasses, when entering the room from the outside in the winter, often form a white mist in the lens, and even more, there will be drops of water along with the lens, which is the liquefaction of water vapor caused by the indoor and outdoor temperature difference. phenomenon. This phenomenon also occurs in hearing aids. The outer casing of the hearing aid is equivalent to glasses, and the ear canal of a person is equivalent to the interior.

Due to the high temperature and humidity in the ear canal, the external temperature of the hearing aid may be in contact with the air.5At about the degree, the moisture in the ear canal enters the receiver and condenses inside, which blocks the sound hole and corrodes the receiver. The ear-back machine also forms water droplets in the hose due to temperature difference, thereby hindering the sound transmission, resulting in the machine being silent or the sound becoming smaller.

So is there any way to prevent machine failure caused by condensate??

1When the hearing aid is not needed every night, put the hearing aid in the dry box for drying. Remember that the desiccant is inactive.(Orange is valid, white is invalid)Remember to cover the lid of the drying box.

2Use electronic nursing treasure: In the winter, use electronic nursing treasure once a week, the use time is2-4In about an hour, it will drive away the water vapor inside the hearing aid. Electronic nursing treasure is also a standing weapon for hearing aids to hibernate.

3Always go to the hearing center for maintenance and use professional equipment for drying.
