Protecting your investment in hearing technology means taking proper care of it, and moisture control is an important part of that. Using the right hearing aid drying products is the most effective way to prevent costly damage caused by sweat, humidity, and moisture.
We’ve compiled an expert overview of the best maintenance tools available to keep your Amplifon hearing aids performing flawlessly.
At Amplifon, we provide the trusted expertise and the high-quality hearing aid care tools required to ensure your devices give you reliable, clear sound every day.
There are two primary categories of hearing aid drying products that expertly draw moisture away from your device’s sensitive electronics. The best choice depends on your daily routine and lifestyle.
The best hearing aid drying products are electronic drying boxes (or dehumidifiers) for daily use, and drying capsules or tablets for travel and portable moisture removal.

Desiccant products are portable, simple, and require no electricity, making them a reliable backup or travel companion.
Using a desiccant drying kit is very simple and can be part of your nightly routine.
To use drying capsules for hearing aids, place one capsule or tablet and your hearing aids (with battery doors open, if applicable) into the dedicated drying cup or container. Seal the container tightly and leave it overnight.
The capsule does the work by absorbing any moisture trapped inside the device casing. Remember to always turn your hearing aids off before placing them in the kit to save battery life.
Drying capsules and hearing aid drying tablets have a limited lifespan because the desiccant material eventually becomes saturated with moisture.
Most hearing aid drying capsules or tablets last between four to eight weeks, depending on the local humidity and the amount of moisture they absorb. You must replace the capsule when its colour indicator changes (typically from blue to white or clear).
If you live in a high-humidity area like Cairns or Brisbane, you may need to replace them more frequently to maintain maximum effectiveness.
You can buy a comprehensive hearing aid care kit, including drying products and cleaning tools, directly from your local Amplifon hearing aid clinic across Australia.
Visiting your clinic ensures you get the exact products recommended for your specific hearing aids, preventing the use of incompatible products that could void your warranty.
