[nfb-db] Quick Tip

[Shadow Wolf]

There are two types of equipment that I'm familiar with. The old 
traditional hearing aid moisture remover is the one that contains a 
silver round metallic thing that has "crystals" inside of them. When you 
bake it in the oven, it turns colors. Then it goes back into the 
container with the affected hearing aid. That equipment has been around 
for as long as I can remember. I wore hearing aids since I was 6.

The other one comes with the CI package. But every CI brand differs from 
one another. The one I have is a well known popular CI brand called 
"Cochlear America". I have the N5 version. This CI package comes with a 
silver box, inside that box contains the "Yellow Brick". This is  used 
to dry out moisture from both your CI and hearing aids. While 
maintaining the sound quality of your CI.

If you're a hearing aid or CI wearer. You should at least have a drying 
equipment. Otherwise, you'll regret not having one if your hearing 
aid/CI gets damaged by moisture and HUMIDITY. Excessive humidity also 
does damage to your hearing devices.
