Top Monsoon Hearing Aid Care Tips
1. Wipe Your Hearing Aids Daily
After wearing them, use a dry, soft cloth to gently wipe off
any moisture. Avoid using tissues or wet wipes.
2. Use a Hearing Aid Dehumidifier
Invest in a hearing aid dry box or electric dehumidifier.
Place your hearing aids inside overnight to remove any trapped moisture.
3. Avoid Wearing Hearing Aids in the Rain
If you’re heading out and there’s a chance of rain, carry an
umbrella or wear a hooded jacket. If rain is unavoidable, remove your hearing
aids and store them in a protective case.
4. Store in a Dry, Safe Place
Never leave your hearing aids in the bathroom or kitchen.
Always store them in a moisture-free container, ideally in your bedroom or
cupboard.
5. Carry a Travel Case
Use a jewellery box-style hard case when traveling during the monsoon. It provides extra protection from accidental drops or leaks in your bag.
