Are Hearing Aids Waterproof? Can You Wear Them in The Rain?

In the northern hemisphere, July and August are hot summers, and the attributes of this season are high temperature and rain, especially in the southern part of our country, it is rainy and humid at this time!

Can I wear hearing aids on rainy days? Does it matter?

You can wear hearing aids in rainy days, but hearing aids are afraid of moisture, so you must wear an umbrella when wearing hearing aids in rainy days. Don't worry if you accidentally get caught in the rain, just take it off and dry it with paper and put it in the dry box. In addition, the daily use of hearing aids requires regular maintenance and dehumidification at the fitting center. If it is the rainy season and there is a lot of rain, the maintenance cycle will be shortened.

Hearing aids are very sophisticated high-tech products. The internal components are very small and compact. They are very delicate. The use and maintenance are also very important, otherwise the performance and service life of the hearing aids will be affected. Today's hearing aids have nano-coating technology, which has the functions of dustproof and waterproof.

1. Daily maintenance in rainy days. In rainy days, the humidity is high, and the hearing aid is prone to moisture, so it is necessary to carry out daily dry maintenance. If you are using a dry box: Before going to bed every night or when the hearing aid is not in use for a long time, open the battery compartment door of the hearing aid and put it in the dry box and close the lid. If using an electronic dryer: Open the hearing aid battery compartment, remove the battery and place the hearing aid in the dryer compartment. Electro-drying 2-3 times a week is sufficient.

2, rain, falling into the water. Dry the surface moisture with a clean soft cloth first, then open the battery compartment, take out the battery (remember to wipe dry to indicate moisture first, to avoid surface moisture entering the device when the battery compartment is opened), and send it to the fitting center for processing as soon as possible. Be careful not to use drying tools such as ovens, microwaves, or hair dryers, which can easily damage the hearing aids. After drying, if there is no sound, sound (size or sound quality) changes, etc., it should be sent to the hearing aid fitting center for professional maintenance.

3. When it rains and thunders. If it is a new type of digital machine with good noise reduction and burst suppression function, it can also suppress the function of instantaneous harsh sound. In the face of the sudden sound, it will not feel too loud and harsh, which is also acceptable.

4. Always wipe with a soft, clean dry cloth or tissue to keep the hearing aids clean, and do not block the hearing aids with earwax. When handling the hearing aid, please place it on a soft surface to avoid accidental dropping of the hearing aid and damage to the hearing aid.

5. Silent. When the hearing aid is silent, it can be dried first. If there is still no sound after drying, it can be sent to the dry ear hearing, and the No. 1 Fitting Center in Weifang will conduct professional maintenance. We pay attention to these small details during wearing, which will make the hearing aids perform better! Take care of your hearing aids and listen more freely!
