OK - this may be OVERKILL for you, but I’m now in a 30-day trial for the ReDux hearing aid dryer. This unit is typically used at clinics or dispensaries - it’s NOT cheap!
However, my new audi gal put my Phonak Marvel aids in the unit a couple months ago while I was there to explore new aids. She mentioned that a LOT of moisture was removed from the aids. That surprised me cuz I put them in a small Widex UV unit every night, and thought that did the trick?
I know the Widex unit was not perfect, cuz I live in a super humid climate, and after a good workout, my aids simply won’t perform! The sound quality is terrible, and it seems I’m limping through hours of that day till they dry out somehow.
I’ve been wearing aids for 34 years now, so I figure I can splurge for a lifetime investment to keep my current and future aids moisture-free. I’ve used the ReDux twice, and the first time, a LOT of moisture was removed from the aids (after my exerbike session). A few days later, not so much moisture was removed, so I still need to figure out how this unit works, and what exactly a LOT of moisture (measured in uL) means?
I plan to post a review in a couple more weeks, but wanted to at least mention the unit here for those willing to plunk down a lot of money for the LAST drying unit they may ever need. Note: this unit does NOT have any UV/sanitation! So it will be a two-step process if I keep it. I’d need to run the dryer (max is about 12-15 min), then at night, put my aids in a UV unit.
I absolutely need my aids working in TOP condition 24x7, so I can’t be lax about taking care of them. Plus, I’m very active, and expose the aids to lots of moisture even at the hair salon or outside where it’s humid with NO air conditioner. Stay tuned for more info on the ReDux. Dr Cliff uses one in his clinic, my audi’s clinic has a unit, and I wouldn’t be surprised if other audis and dispensers here also have one on hand.
