Opening Topic for Open Chat Night:  How to take care of your hearing aids

Hearing aids are very expensive.  The digital hearing aids I have been wearing for the past 10 years (BTE and ITC) have cost thousands of dollars.  When paying so much, taking good care of the aids is a must.

Last weekend I was at the HLAA convention’s exhibit hall and stopped by a booth for Dry & Store.  I became interested in this product after a leader of the HLAA chapter group recommended it.  I learned that lots of moisture and germs can enter the aids while wearing them, which can cause damage to the aids and potentially create ear infections and itching in the ears.  Dry & Store Conditioning System is an electrical appliance that helps to reduce the risks.  You simply place your hearing aids in an enclosed box for 8 hours to sanitize them.  I have purchased one for myself.

Share products you use to ensure that your hearing aids will last longer.  For all of you wearing hearing aids, how long did they last before you had to buy new ones?
