If your hearing aids get damaged, they won\u2019t work properly, and you\u2019ll have to pay to repair or replace them. Making sure that you keep them somewhere cool and dry, away from harmful temperatures, moisture and direct sunlight, helps to ensure they stay working well for a long time.<\/li><li><strong>Establishing a routine<\/strong>. Hearing aids are tiny and, therefore, easy to misplace. It\u2019s quite common for people to take them out and forget where they put them. To avoid the stress of frantically searching for your hearing aids before work in the morning, keep them in the same location every night before you go to bed.<\/li><li><strong>Keeping them out of reach<\/strong>. If you have pets or small children that live with you or even visit your house, you want to make sure that your hearing aids are kept somewhere they could never reach them and become a choking hazard.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Places to Store Your Hearing Aids<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While not an exhaustive list, here\u2019s a list of a few of the best places to store your hearing aids:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Nightstand or dresser<\/li><li>Sock drawer<\/li><li>Jewelry box<\/li><li>Desk drawer<\/li><li>In their charging station (if you have rechargeable hearing aids)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You could also look to invest in a hearing aid drying box or dehumidifier. Not only are these a safe, portable storage spot, but they are designed to remove excess moisture from your hearing aids. This means they can come in handy if your hearing aids fall into water or you get caught in a downpour walking through Skyline Trail on a rainy Oregon day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about hearing aid storage options or to schedule an appointment, call <span class=\"company-name \">Willamette ENT &amp; Facial Plastic Surgery<\/span> today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><ul class=\"related-posts\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/entsalem.com\/tips-for-holiday-travel-with-hearing-aids\/\" class=\"related-post\">Tips for Holiday Travel with Hearing Aids<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/entsalem.com\/how-to-navigate-hearing-loss-induced-anxiety\/\" class=\"related-post\">How To Navigate Hearing Loss-Induced Anxiety<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/entsalem.com\/the-power-of-a-support-system-in-hearing-health\/\" class=\"related-post\">The Power of a Support System in Hearing Health<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve recently been prescribed hearing aids to treat your hearing loss, you are not alone.
