Do NOT panic! Hearing aids are so comfortable these days most people forget that they are even wearing them, and an accidental encounter with water can happen to anyone. Today’s hearing aids are not only more comfortable but are designed to be water and moisture-resistant. Unfortunately, they are not waterproof. In the event of wet hearing aids, here are a few steps you can take to save them and prevent further destruction.
Do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT put your hearing aids in the microwave, under a hairdryer, or on a heater of any kind! This is a one-way ticket to fry town. Hearing aids are not designed to withstand heat and by doing this the components of the hearing aid will melt, and you can say goodbye to your investment.
