Hi Orla!

The current model of the Dri & Store will not hold the body processor of either

the

Nucleus or Clarion implants. The new model will hold the Clarion, or the Nucleus

with the

single battery pack. I'm going to be doing the TX AGBell Conference in October

and Ear

Technology Corp tells me the unit (called the Dry & Store Global) will be on the

market

then and, since they can't attend the conference, will send me a unit to display

on one of

my exhibit tables.

We use the Super Dri-Aid. When going on a trip, I take a heavy duty freezer bag

and dump

in 1 jar of Super Dri-Aid and stick it in my purse. At night, I just wrap a

tissue around

whatever hearing equipment he's wearing (currently the ESPrit & Hearing Aid) and

zip it up

in the freezer bag. If we're camping, I tuck the freezer bag in the little pouch

that's

over his head in the tent. If we're indoors, I just put it on the nightstand

near his

head. Actually, he does it now, but I always double-check to see that he did it.

At home,

I put empty 2 jars of the pellets into a bowl with a tight fitting lid and put a

thin

circle of foam over that. His body processor, BTE processor, Hearing Aid, and

spare all

fit into the bowl - with not much room to spare. When the indicator pellets

aren't blue

any more, I empty them into a glass bowl and put it into the microwave. It's

real

important to remember to put them into a glass bowl, else you have a real mess

on your

hands. ;-)

Give Piers a " Howdy " from me. ;-)

Hugs,

Kay

Hi Orla,

We made our own Dry Aid Kit. I took a standard dry aid, hearing aid kit and

sliced the plastic holder in half. I then glued it into a Tupper ware container,

a standard sandwich holder will do. Then I put a small piece of anti-static foam

in the bottom. It works wonderfully.

The coil and the mic should fit but it will not fit the Sprint processor.

We use the kit that came with it for now. No problems. The biggest problems

we have had with moisture with the aids have always been in the earmolds,

anyway, which doesn't apply to the CI.

Where do you purchase the jars of Super Dri-Aid?
