Until now, hearing aid care usually consists of cleaning (wiping with a damp cloth or cleaning spray plus cleaning cloth), then drying in an electric dry box, possibly with UV-C for hygiene. The risk here is that dirt and viscous cerumen will get even deeper into the openings of the hearing aids (microphones, outdoor headphones, vents) when wiped improperly.
The new cleaning method reverses the sequence of care steps and reduces them to a minimum.
Following the market launch of the dry-cap uv 4®, hearing care professionals noticed that the turbofast fan drying combined with heat of up to 38°C (100°F) and the 2 UV-C hygiene phases not only dried the hearing aids faster and more intensively, but also dried adhering cerumen to dust. The design of the new dry-cap uv 4® was optimized in such a way that the drying effect could be increased by a further 10% by reducing the distance to the hearing aids and optimizing the turbo channel. Turbo-fast and intensive drying combined with heat and UV-C light pulverize the cerumen adhering to the hearing aids.
In addition, the vac-clean uv 2.1® was optimized. With -65kPa vacuum suction power and a LUER system with numerous attachment nozzles, dirt and powdered cerumen can be extracted without leaving any residue.
The two new innovations dry-cap uv 4® and vac-clean uv 2.1® received the German Design Award, are perfectly coordinated and represent the cornerstones of the new cleaning method.
Daily care (cleaning and hygiene) is essential both for the health and function of the hearing aids.
The simple and practical cleaning method is easy to carry out even for older people with impaired hearing. Only clean hearing aids work perfectly and provide the desired listening experience. By avoiding failures, customers and acousticians are saved a lot of time and money.
But manufacturers of hearing aids also participate in the acceptance of hearing aids through reduced warranty and goodwill costs.
