Zephyr by Dry & Store Hearing Instrument Dryer/Dehumidifier | for Care and Maintenance of Hearing Aids | Cochlear Processors | in-Ear Monitors

Easy to use. Put in hearing aids at night and remove them in the morning.

I rarely ever write product reviews but I wanted to take the time to write a review on this product because it has had a miraculous effect on my hearing aid experience. I've been wearing hearing aid for about 20 years. My current aids are made by Oticon. I've owned this pair for about 3 years and I have been "on a first name basis" with my hearing aid doctor ever since. In those 3 years, I visited him over 90 times due to malfunctioning of my hearing aids. I couldn't understand why he would even sell a product that was so defective. Occasionally he would mention that there was a lot of moisture around my hearing aid and in my ear canals. I had been using a cheaper hearing aid dryer but it didn't seem very effective. In desperation, I started shopping for a better quality dryer. I found this product on Amazon and it appeared to have reasonably good reviews. As an engineer, I felt that having a fan system to positively circulate the dry air past the aids made a lot of sense. I've owned this unit for 3 months now and the results have been wonderful. I have not been back to my hearing doctor. My hearing aids have performed excellently. I've been extremely impressed. When I remove the hearing aids from this unit in the morning, you can actually "feel" that the hearing aids are bone dry. I travel quite often and I religiously caring this unit with me. I wrap it in bubble wrap and put it in my suitcase. It travels well and is not overly large. If you use hearing aids buy this product! If you are a hearing aid doctor please sell or recommend this product to your customers!

I like how well it dries my hearing aid and cochlear implant

I am bilateral implanted with cochlear implants and need to dry my processors at night . In doing so, it’s helps with the life of the processors. I was implanted 10 years ago and have used this dryer the entire time. After 10 years it still performed perfectly. That was until my puppy got a hold of it , and chewed the power button off. Of course I purchased the exact same brand as the last one lasted me a decade. The dry is small, and quiet and comfortably holds 2 CI processors.

Have bought this product for last seven years. It’s an absolute must for hearing aids- aids last on average for three years if worn continuously. The medical insurance industry only reimburses wearers for new ones every five years which is unrealistic/stupid. Position your aids with the canal sides down to the unit’s bottom before turning on. Make sure to change the Dry Brick every two months and wipe the inside tray after each use. You’ll see moisture collect after each night especially in a humid climate where I live. Found this type of gentle heat without the extra UV lamps works best. Other dryers with lamps I’ve used got quite warm and caused discoloration of the ear molds. Best aid dryers I’ve seen are vacuum/desiccant models by Jodivac, like my aid tech uses. They’re pricey at $699+. Use a small, sealed vacuum pressure/drying covered bowl and desiccant without high heat. Wish Amazon would carry them again- my aids are a lifeline for everyday functioning. Only other vendor who carries the Chinese Jodivac wanna be is Ali Baba. Chances are they’re probably all made in Asia but I’d rather deal with Amazon’s excellent return policy...

Seems to work fine. How would I even know. 😊

I've worn hearing aids for 20 years and never knew about portable dehumidifiers. An online video wised me up and I knew I needed one. I've had no trouble with the push button on-switch and decided I don't need to turn it on every night. It's my regular, closed case when I'm at home. I open the battery doors of my aids all the way when I power up the Zephyr for overnight use. No way did I intend to use only the Dry-Brik II that came with it, and I was frustrated by the lack of a good picture of where the Brik sat. Did it snap in? Would the Zephyr function without the Brik in there? Happily, it sits on top of plastic supports and there's no connection to the power source. I'm 2 months over the throw-away time, but the unseen water-absorbing balls within the Brik still shake freely, so I figure they're still functioning. When I do toss it, I intend to use small, transparent packets that change color as they absorb moisture. That will be a fascinating experiment.

Doesn’t work properly after only one year. My last one lasted five years. Also, on both of these devices, the On button never worked well. It often has to be pressed multiple times to turn in on.
