What Moisture Does to Hearing Aids
Understanding the damage helps you prevent it
Corrodes Electronics
Water and metal don't mix. Moisture causes oxidation on circuit boards, leading to shorts and failures.
Damages Receivers
The tiny speakers in hearing aids are extremely sensitive. Moisture can permanently distort sound quality.
Degrades Batteries
Moisture accelerates battery corrosion and can damage the battery contacts in your hearing aids.
Daily Drying = Longer Life
The best protection is prevention
Build a Nightly Routine
The best way to prevent moisture damage isn't just reacting to emergencies—it's building a daily drying routine that removes accumulated moisture before it causes harm.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if my hearing aids get wet?
Immediately remove the battery (or turn off rechargeable aids) and open the battery door. Gently dry the exterior with a soft cloth. Place them in a hearing aid dryer or desiccant container overnight. Don't use heat like a hair dryer. If they still don't work after 24-48 hours of drying, contact your audiologist.
Can hearing aids be saved after water damage?
Often, yes—especially if you act quickly. The key is to remove the battery immediately and let them dry completely before trying to use them. Redux technology has successfully dried millions of hearing aids. The sooner you start drying, the better the chances of recovery.
How do I prevent moisture damage to hearing aids?
Use a hearing aid dryer every night—this removes accumulated moisture from sweat and humidity before it causes damage. Remove hearing aids before showering, swimming, or heavy exercise. Store them in a dry place with the battery door open when not in use.
What is the best hearing aid dryer?
The Redux Ultra Dry & Charge is the most advanced home hearing aid dryer available. It uses professional-grade desiccant technology (the same used by audiologists) and charges your rechargeable hearing aids simultaneously. For travel, the Veri-Dry offers a portable watertight case with DryBUDDY moisture removal.
How often should I dry my hearing aids?
Every night. Your hearing aids accumulate moisture throughout the day from your ear canal, sweat, and environmental humidity. Nightly drying prevents this moisture from building up and causing corrosion. Think of it like brushing your teeth—it's a daily maintenance habit.
Does warranty cover water damage to hearing aids?
Most manufacturer warranties do not cover water or moisture damage, which is why prevention is so important. Some extended warranties and hearing aid insurance plans do cover moisture damage—check with your audiologist or insurance provider. Regardless, daily drying is the best protection.
