The ear is not an ideal environment for electronics. Daily perspiration and humidity enter the device, and over time, this constant exposure to moisture and wax will dampen the sound and eventually stop the hearing aid from working. Hearing care professionals report that moisture is the most common cause of hearing aid malfunction. Many individuals have to be without their hearing instruments for days or even weeks after they’re sent off for repair.
The Redux drying system, available to audiology and hearing care professionals nationwide, “is proven to restore hearing instruments to their peak operational state in about 12 minutes with the push of a button”.
Redux’s patented technology creates a vacuum to lower the evaporation point of water to remove all liquid from both traditionally powered and rechargeable hearing aids. The unique drying process allows for complete moisture removal at a controlled, safe temperature and provides a report of the amount of moisture removed from the device.
