Dry and Store and Protect Your Hearing Investment

Dry and Store (D&S) is a power player in the world of hearing aid accessory devices. Known as hearing aid conditioners, these devices go a long way to protect and maintain the pricey investment of listening devices.

With many hearing aids costing hundreds or even thousands of dollars, it's in your best interests to ensure that the device is properly cared for. Through normal usage, listening instruments are exposed to moisture, dirt and skin secretions, all of which impair the units ability to operate optimally over time.

When you think about how small hearing aids are, the idea of maintenance conjures images of bending over a workstation with

ocular enhancement trained on a set of eyeglass-sized tools. While that's possible for the extremely skilled and artfully equipped audio circuits

engineer, it isn't feasible for the average joe or regular jane. The minds behind the Ear Technology Corporation (www.eartech.com), makers of D&S devices, are well aware of the nuances that arise in caring for expensive listening devices and have built an entire accessory empire around it, Dry and

Store. The Global II is a clamshell night stand-top box that works on the "three essential elements needed for effective drying," heat, circulating air and desiccation. The device "conditions" your hearing aid through processes of drying and sanitizing. The Zephyr is a value-priced (below $100) hearing aid conditioner, which has all of the benefits of The Global II feature set, minus

the sanitizing lamp. All of the conditioning devices use a proprietary Ear Technology called Dry Brik II, which contains a form of hygroscopic desiccant to capture the moisture removed from the hearing aid. Dry Brik's have a shelf life of 2 to 3 months per tab and need to be replaced in order for the D&S conditioner to function as a drying agent. Though considering that Zephyrs are run daily for 8-hours at a

time (the pre-programmed conditioning length), the 1-inch by 2-inch tablet provides decent value. REFERENCES: http://www.asha.org/public/hearing/Dizziness-and-Vertigo/ http://www.asha.org/public/hearing/Dizziness-and-Balance.htm
