MOISTURE, DAMPNESS & HEARING AIDS
AUDIOPROSTHOLOGIST DAN TAYLOR SPEAKS TO THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF HUMIDITY AND MOISTURE ON HEARING AIDS, AND WHAT CAN BE DONE TO RESIST THESE ISSUES
With winter over and the arrival of spring, increasing humidity
and afternoon thunderstorms are here once again. Traditionally, this weather also brings an increase in the number of moisture-related hearing-aid issues. With such a miniature electronic device, hearing instruments plus moisture equals problems. These problems can be simple to fix, or go unnoticed and hidden, until internal corrosion progresses beyond the point of possible repair. “However you cut it, moisture in your hearing aids is not a good thing.
Over the years our industry has evolved a wide variety of strategies, some more effective than others,” explains R.D. Dan Taylor, owner of A Advanced Hearing in downtown Melbourne. Taylor is nationally board certified in hearing instrument sciences, a
certificate holder of the American Conference on Audioprosthology as an audioprosthologist and has been licensed by the State of Florida to dispense hearing aids since 1983.
