You depend on your hearing instruments to hear well. So doesn't it make sense to take care of your hearing aids and implant equipment? You can maintain peak performance, reduce repairs, and enjoy better sound quality - it's easy, with Dry & Store.
The Dry & Store family of products benefit all types of hearing instruments - traditional hearing aids as well as cochlear implant equipment, noise maskers, ear monitors, and more. Best results are achieved with in-home use every night. While you sleep, it removes moisture, dries earwax, and deodorizes your hearing instruments. The Global model even kills germs, thanks to its UV-C germicidal lamp. For most users, results include: Fewer repairs, better sound quality, relief from itchy ears, longer battery life, fresh and clean hearing aids.
If you have ever experienced fuzzy or distorted sound, weakness, static, intermittency, short battery life, or even all-out failure of your hearing aids, and you've confirmed that the batteries are good, there's a good chance that the culprit is either moisture or earwax. In fact, manufacturers report that as many as one-half of the aids they receive for repair are malfunctioning due to moisture or earwax. Thanks to Dry & Store, you can save yourself the time, expense, and aggravation of those preventable repairs.
About HearUSA (hearusa.com)
At HearUSA, you will receive more than just a hearing aid—you’ll receive a lifetime of better hearing. Here is what you can expect from our Totalcare Program, designed to provide you with the best in quality, service and value.
Drying Compartment: (Single tray) 3.2” x 2.6” x 1” (8 cm x 6.5 cm x 2.4 cm) Positive-latching hinged lid with a drying compartment that will accommodate all types of hearing instruments, including cochlear implant microphones, headpieces, and speech processors (both ear level and body-worn).

Zephyr power supplies are interchangeable with Dry & Store Global and are CE marked. The default AC Adapter has a US/Japan plug, but Schuko (European), UK, Australian, or South American plugs are available. They are certified to ETL, UL, and CSA standards, and carry GS (Germany), PSE/JET (Japan), C-Tick (Australia/New Zealand), Korean (KC), and SABS (South Africa) certifications. Will also work with an inverter for 12V service. Your Dry & Store Zephyr can be used anywhere in the world – no voltage converter is necessary. All that’s needed is the appropriate plug adapter, or you can travel “adapter-free” by ordering individual power supplies with native plugs. Choose from US, UK, European, Australian, or South African plugs.
DesiccantIn most locations around the world, the Zephyr ships with the custom Dry-Brik II desiccant. The Dry-Brik contains an aggressive sorbent (mol sieve) packaged in an attractive, molded, disposable container. Each Dry-Brik has a shelf-life of at least one year, unopened. Once the foil label is removed, the Dry-Brik II lasts two (2) months. The desiccant also absorbs odors as it dries. In some countries the Zephyr ships with an oven rechargeable metal canister desiccant. Both types of desiccants are available as accessories, and Dry & Store Global II operates well with either, though a can-type does not provide the deodorizing function that the Dry-Brik provides.
Battery RemovalHearing aid batteries do not have to be removed before using Zephyr by Dry & Store. Independent tests by Eveready Battery Co. on their Energizer/Amplifier batteries showed a 10-20% gain in battery life under high (85% RH) humidity conditions, and no decrease in life at normal (50% RH) conditions. This was confirmed by a user survey which showed that over 50% of users experienced longer battery life.
