Guest guest Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Tawnya, We put the aids in the Dry & Store with the battery door wide open to help with any moisture that may have become trapped in the aid. Unless Ian is a really sweaty baby, I wonder if the aids popped into his mouth during the day? Or if he nurses or takes a bottle, if some milk dripped down the side of his face onto his aid? It would take more than a little condensation for the rust to accumulate in just one day of wear (unless you had not opened the battery case for several days??). You may want to look into Super Seals or the hearing aid sweatbands to give the aids a bit more protection. We had Hadley wear Super Seals until she was 2; was nice to to have to worry about sand and dirt getting in there too. We bought ours at Just Bekuz Products; they are having a holiday sale on all their products with a big sale on the seals until early December: www.justbekuz.com.

YES! Ours came with instructions to remove the batteries before putting the aids in. -- Jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 >> the FAQ on the Dry & Store page that says you can put the batteries in. >> << When the Dry & Store came out, I had to be the biggest sceptic when it came to keeping the batteries in - before this, the 'wisdom' of the time was to never put batteries in a moisture absorbing system. Well, my son and I now both have one, and I did to testing to see if it shortened the life of our batteries or not. It didn't. I can't say that it prolonged the life of ours either, but I can say that for us, it didn't shorten the life. I can also tell you that since he's started using his, he's had far fewer problems with his hearing aid. -Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
