The Importance Of Keeping Your Sound Processors Clean
As a bilateral cochlear implant recipient, it is vital that we keep our sound processors in top shape reducing the need of costly repairs. Last week, my predecessor of the Dry and Store II failed and had to research for new options. I went to the manufacturer's website and found out they had a newer model called the Dry and Store UV Max. It is pertained to activate the UV light for ten minutes killing off any environmental bacteria. For the next seven hours the device cleans the processors by blowing gentle air absorbing any residual moisture. It makes the perfect fit on my table next to my bed with the clock and Bluetooth speaker. Every single morning, I take the processors out of the unit and it is treated as if it is cleaned up by the factory just as new. When reading the specifications on the website, I was a little skeptical that my processors would not fit into the box and with further detail, it can fit only two processors. With this in mind, I detached both of my battery modules from the processor(s) and the coils. Bingo! These two processors make a perfect fit by giving the Dry and Store unit use advanced cleaning just to preserve it's function of the devices itself. It cost $115 on the manufacturer website and on Amazon, it costs $105. Not bad for a price check to make sure we are getting better deals. With Dry and Store, I trust that my sound processors will last a lifetime with daily use of the sanitizing device each night. Each bar that is responsible for absorbing moisture lasts for a month. The six pack kit of the bars cost $12.50 every six months. That makes it $25 per year. Not bad for keeping the devices clean without facing costly replacements/repairs of sound processors.
