Features
SAFE FOR ALL HEARING AIDS:
DryMax is an energy-efficient electronic appliance designed for use every night to care for and store all varieties of hearing instruments – In ear hearing aids, behind the ear hearing aids, cochlear implant hardware, noise or tinnitus maskers, in-ear monitors, and even your wireless earphones. The DryMax uses a patented combination of air circulation, heat, and advanced desiccant absorption, to provide the most effective hearing aid moisture removal, keeping your hearing aids operating like NEW!
HOW TO USE:
Simply Press the captive-touch ON/OFF button once your hearing aids are placed inside of the compartment. This will begin the 8-Hour drying cycle, so we recommend using this dry box every night before bed. The drying temperature is regulated at a safe 104 degrees, and is circulated with the devices internal fan. When the moisture evaporates from your hearing aids, the Dry-Brik Mini Desiccants will capture and absorb the moisture, keeping your hearing aids completely dry.

Germicidal Properties (DryMax-UV model only)
The germicidal lamp inside the DryMax-UV model is a short wave low pressure mercury vapor tube that produces ultraviolet (UV-C) wavelengths that are lethal to micro-organisms. During its one-and-a-half minute cycle, the lamp will generate enough germicidal energy to yield a Log 4 kill rate, equal to 99.99% kill on common bacteria found in the external ear canal.
Elimination of this flora from hearing aids can significantly reduce itching and the reintroduction of infection-causing bacteria into the ear canal. To the user, this means less itching and irritation, and fewer recurring infections of the external ear canal. Note: The UV-C lamp is a surface sanitizer only, and it has little to no penetrating power. This means that it is not damaging to plastics or earmolds. (Germicidal lamps are not to be confused with sunlamps or blacklight lamps, for while those are also ultraviolet lamps, the UV produced by a sunlamp or blacklight is of longer wavelength and is not useful for germicidal applications.)

Desiccant
In most locations around the world, the DryMax ships with a six-pack of Dry-Brik® Mini desiccants which is a 6 month supply. The Dry-Brik Mini contains an aggressive sorbent (13x mol sieve) packaged in an attractive, molded, disposable container. Each Mini has a shelf-life of at least two years, unopened. Once the foil label is removed, the Mini lasts one (1) month. Replacement desiccants are inexpensive and are available from Dry & Store distributors and directly from Ear Technology Corporation. The desiccant also absorbs odors as it performs the drying process
