Dry & Store Global II Electric Hearing Aid Dehumidifier with UV-C Sanitizer - Portable Hearing Device Dryer & Cleaner for Daily Maintenance at Home or Travel

I read about the Dry and Store Dehumidifier on a forum for the hearing impaired. It was highly rec. by everyone who posted about it. Living in SC Lowcountry and now Naples, FL, humidity is a big problem for me. I garden, ride my bike and exercise at the gym. You can say I sweat a lot. Using the Dry and Store Dehumidifier at night and sometimes after a really sweaty activity has kept my hearing aid from collecting moisture. I especially like the little light that heats up and kills bacteria. If you ever have smelled your hearing aid you know that it must be full of all kinds of bacteria - yuck, they smell like sweaty goalie gloves. I used to use one of those small canisters with the special tube of charcoal to dry out my hearing aid. But I still had problems with moisture and had to make trips to the hearing aid specialist to get my aid repaired. The Global II is a great size for home and travel use. Fits easily on a night table and really doesn't take up a lot of room in a suitcase. When I store my aid in it at night I don't take out the battery which I know some people rec. It doesn't seem to affect the battery life. I have a Phonic aid which in order to turn it off you have to open the battery door. So that's how I store it. Another use I found for it was when I dropped my cell phone in a clean toilet. I whisked it out, dried it off, and put it in the humidifier. Thought I would have to buy a new cell phone. But it dried the phone out within 24 hours. There are so few products out there for us hard of hearing peeps that actually are worth the money they cost. So I would highly rec. buying the Dry and Store Global II Dehumidifier, especially since most good hearing aids cost as much as your monthly mortgage payment.
