When you are so comfortable with your hearing aids that you forget to take them out to shower, you have reached a milestone that
is shared by many others! Do not fret! There are things you can do to improve your odds of recovery. First, dry off the exterior of your hearing aid and earmold if applicable, remove the batteries and dry them off , and leave the battery doors open to dry for 24 hours.
DO NOT use a blow dryer, or put them in the oven or microwave. DO NOT try to take them apart. If they don’t recover after 24 hours, please contact our office. Two more things to remember: If your hearing aids are under loss and damage warranty, moisture related repairs are covered. Finally, a sign on your bathroom mirror reminding you to remove your hearing aids before showering helps until you get in the habit.
