Figuring out where to store your hearing aids each night is a crucial part of that overall care plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at some of the best places to store your hearing aids, as well as a few places you should avoid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Four Places To Keep Your Hearing Aids Safe <\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/nesilv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/christopher-jolly-GqbU78bdJFM-unsplash-1280x853.jpg\" alt=\"A nightstand with a light on next to a bed.\" class=\"wp-image-5109\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nesilv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/christopher-jolly-GqbU78bdJFM-unsplash-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/nesilv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/christopher-jolly-GqbU78bdJFM-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nesilv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/christopher-jolly-GqbU78bdJFM-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/nesilv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/christopher-jolly-GqbU78bdJFM-unsplash-scaled.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re looking for a place to store your hearing aids, you want it to be somewhere that\u2019s cool, dry and easy to remember so that you don\u2019t misplace them. Four good options are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Nightstand<\/strong>. Your nightstand is a great, simple option to store your hearing aids each night. It\u2019s right next to your bed, which makes it convenient to both take-out and put in your hearing aids each day. Avoid placing a water glass next to your hearing aids, though. As well as anything else that could get your hearing aids wet and potentially damage them.<\/li><li><strong>Sock drawer<\/strong>. Sock drawers are effective because they keep your hearing aids away from direct sunlight, and your socks help keep the environment fairly dry. It\u2019s also convenient as you can grab your hearing aids at the same time that you\u2019re getting dressed each morning.<\/li><li><strong>Jewelry box<\/strong>. If you tend to wear jewelry most days, keeping your hearing aids in with them is a great idea. It\u2019s a dry, cool environment that\u2019s easy to remember.<\/li><li><strong>Drying box or dehumidifier<\/strong>. Hearing aid drying boxes and dehumidifiers are a fantastic investment. They aren\u2019t just great for storage but also work to rid your device of moisture during the night. Additionally, they are a great tool to have around in case your hearing aids accidentally get wet. Like if you forget to take them off before showering or when swimming at Pavilion Center Pool.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Three Places To Avoid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several places that you may assume would be a good spot to store your hearing aids, but actually could harm your device, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Your bathroom<\/strong>. The bathroom may sound like a good place since you go there at the start and end of every day to brush your teeth and get ready for the day or to head off to bed. However, the moisture from the shower or bath makes it an unsafe environment for your hearing aids.<\/li><li><strong>Fridge or freezer<\/strong>. You may have heard that cold environments can prolong battery life and think that it could benefit your hearing aid battery. However, the moisture from these locations would cause far more damage than any minor extension of battery life you might get.<\/li><li><strong>Anywhere in direct sunlight<\/strong>. An otherwise good storage location becomes bad if it gets direct sunlight. That\u2019s because your hearing aid has heat-sensitive parts that could be damaged, causing your device to malfunction and need repair.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on storing and caring for your hearing aids or to schedule an appointment, contact <span class=\"company-name \">Nevada Ear + Sinus Institute<\/span> today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><ul class=\"related-posts\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/nesilv.com\/how-can-i-accommodate-my-hearing-loss-at-work\/\" class=\"related-post\">How Can I Accommodate My Hearing Loss at Work?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/nesilv.com\/tips-for-extending-the-life-of-your-hearing-aids\/\" class=\"related-post\">Tips For Extending the Life of Your Hearing Aids<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/nesilv.com\/a-music-lovers-guide-to-hearing-aids\/\" class=\"related-post\">A Music Lover\u2019s Guide to Hearing Aids<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hearing aids are an essential tool for people with hearing loss, not to mention a popular one.
