Storing Hearing Aids and Use of Drying Kit
A special drying kit is included with your
hearing instruments. The jar contains beads
that are specially designed to remove moisture
from your hearing instruments.
We recommend that you store your hearing
instruments in the drying kit overnight while
you are sleeping. Doing so can help extend
the life of your hearing instruments.
To use: Open the battery door of your hearing instruments, place them on top of the
circular foam piece, and firmly secure lid on the jar. Removing the batteries
completely will extend battery life. Keeping the lid firmly in place at all times will
extend the time between reactivation.
There is a small amount of blue beads in the jar that are designed to fade and blend
in with the other beads when it is time to reactivate. After reactivation these beads
will return to their original blue color.
To reactivate in a microwave oven: Pour beads into a microwave safe container.
Heat on a medium level for about 2.5 minutes or until the blue beads regain their
color.
To reactivate in a conventional oven: Pour beads into an oven safe container and
bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until the blue beads regain their color.
Allow the beads to cool to room temperature before placing them back into the jar.
PLEASE NEVER PUT YOUR HEARING INSTRUMENTS, BATTERIES, GLASS JAR,
LID OR FOAM IN OVEN OR MICROWAVE. DO NOT PLACE OVER AN OPEN
FLAME.
WARNING: Beads are non-toxic but should not be ingested. Keep out of reach of
children and pets. If ingested, drink 2 glasses of water, induce vomiting and contact
your local poison control center.
