Hearing Aid Cleaning in Marietta: Prevent Moisture Damage with Redux Drying

Moisture Is the #1 Cause of Hearing Aid Failure—Here’s How to Prevent It

Even with advanced nanotech and IP ratings, hearing aids are not waterproof. In fact, moisture is the leading cause of hearing aid malfunction and long-term failure. That’s why routine cleanings and professional drying treatments are essential—especially if you live in a humid climate or live an active lifestyle.

At Aurilink Tinnitus & Hearing Care in Marietta, we offer professional Redux hearing aid drying services that remove nearly all internal moisture in just minutes.

Why Moisture Damages Hearing Aids

Excess moisture from sweat, humidity, or accidental water exposure can wreak havoc on your device by:

  • Clogging ports and openings

  • Reducing frequency response due to moisture buildup in tubing

  • Corroding internal metal components

  • Short-circuiting the microphone and receivers

Warning signs of moisture damage:

  • Static or crackling sounds

  • Distorted or fading sound

  • Intermittent performance

  • Hearing aid won’t power on consistently

If you notice any of these issues, it’s time to schedule a hearing aid cleaning appointment in Marietta.

How Redux Drying Can Restore Your Hearing Aids

We use the Redux hearing aid drying system, a professional-grade machine that:

  • Pulls a vacuum to lower the evaporation point of water

  • Applies controlled heat to safely remove internal moisture

  • Measures and reports humidity levels before and after drying

  • Completes treatment in just 15 minutes

  • Prevents future damage and costly repairs

Over 60% of out-of-warranty hearing aid repairs are due to moisture. Don’t wait until your device fails—prevent damage early with professional service.

At-Home Hearing Aid Care Tips

While professional drying is essential, daily maintenance matters too. Follow these hearing aid care tips to extend the life of your device:

  • Inspect earmold openings regularly for wax and debris

  • Clean your hearing aids nightly, and store them in a dry area (on a towel or hearing aid dehumidifier)

  • Open the battery compartment at night to help air out the device

  • Never sleep with your hearing aids in, as it increases the risk of damage

  • Replace weak batteries—they can cause poor sound quality or device issues

What to Do If Your Hearing Aids Get Wet

Accidents happen. Whether it’s a shower, pool, rainstorm, or drop into the sink, don’t panic.

Here’s what to do:

  1. Remove the battery immediately (if applicable)

  2. Do not try to dry with heat (like a hairdryer)

  3. Bring your device to our Marietta office as soon as possible for a professional drying session

A fast, affordable Redux drying treatment may save your hearing aids—before you consider replacement.
