Phonak drying capsules – reliable moisture protection for hearing aids and accessories
Hearing aids are technical and delicate devices that help you hear optimally. They sit close to the skin and are exposed daily to body heat, perspiration and changing environmental conditions. Even if your hearing aid does not get wet directly, moisture can still build up through condensation. This can build up in small openings, sound channels or filters, and eventually affect the sound quality and function of the device. Phonak drying capsules are specially designed to address this problem and are an essential part of proper maintenance.
With these drying capsules, you can easily protect your hearing aids, earmolds and other hearing accessories from the adverse effects of moisture. By effectively absorbing moisture, the capsules keep your hearing aids clean, dry and functioning reliably for longer. In this sales story, learn why drying capsules are just as important as daily cleaning and why they should not be missing from your maintenance routine.
Why moisture can be a problem
Moisture is harmless at first glance, but in the context of hearing aids it can cause unpleasant problems. Small amounts of water or condensation in sound channels can cause:
-
a dull or less clear sound
-
temporary disturbances
-
reduced sensitivity of microphones
-
corrosion of internal parts
-
faster wear of materials
By targeting moisture, you ensure that these problems do not have a chance to develop. That means not only a more stable sound experience, but also a longer life for your hearing aid.
What are Phonak drying capsules?
Phonak drying capsules are small capsules filled with a special moisture-absorbing material designed to pull water molecules out of the air and out of hearing aids. They are used in conjunction with a drying box or drying cup in which you place your hearing products. While the device is in the drying box, the capsules absorb the moisture and keep the environment dry.
These drying capsules are easy to use and fit most standard drying boxes or drying systems. They are designed to consistently and reliably absorb moisture, thoroughly protecting your equipment.
Simple and practical to use
Using drying capsules is not complicated. You place the capsules along with your hearing aids, earmolds or hearing protection in a drying box at the end of the day or after heavy use. While you sleep or when you are not wearing the devices, the capsule does its job.
A great advantage of the Phonak drying capsules is that they can have color indication: when the capsule is saturated with moisture, the color changes. This allows you to see exactly when it is time to replace the capsules. This visual signal helps you make the best use of the capsules without having to guess whether they are still effective.
Suitable for various hearing products
Phonak drying capsules are versatile and suitable for:
-
hearing aids, both behind the ear and in the ear
-
earpieces and earpieces
-
custom hearing protection
-
universal earplugs
Whether you wear hearing aids daily or only during specific activities, moisture can always accumulate. By using the capsules regularly, you ensure that your devices stay dry no matter what the conditions.
Part of a complete maintenance routine
Moisture control works best when combined with other maintenance measures. Daily cleaning removes dirt, wax and grease; drying with drying capsules ensures that moisture has no chance to cause problems. Together, these steps form a weekly and daily maintenance regimen that optimally protects your hearing aids.
Many hearing professionals recommend drying hearing aids every evening, especially after a day of heavy use. That way, you start the next day with dry equipment ready to use.
Benefits of regular use
Regular use of Phonak drying capsules offers several benefits:
-
Better sound quality as moisture does not form blockages
-
Less interference because microphones and electronics stay dry
-
Higher reliability because parts remain intact longer
-
Greater comfort as moisture reduces irritation
-
Extended life of hearing aids and accessories
With only one capsule per drying session, your hearing solution gets the protection it deserves.
Summary
Phonak drying capsules are a practical, reliable and effective solution for removing moisture from hearing aids and earplugs. They are easy to use, fit a variety of drying systems and are a valuable addition to your daily and weekly maintenance routine. By addressing moisture consistently, you give your hearing products the best chance of staying clean, dry and functioning optimally.
A small tool with big effect – because good maintenance starts with dry and reliable use.
