Dry & Store DryBoost UV review

DryBoost UV was built for rechargeable hearing aids. Ear Technology, the company behind Dry & Store, warns that the 98 to 104°F inside its Global II and Zephyr may be too hot for some rechargeable devices, and points those owners to DryBoost UV instead. It dries with gentle heat of 80 to 85°F and a fan over a 6-hour cycle, after a 5-minute UV-C cycle that the company says reduces 99.9% of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The chamber takes most charging bases, so hearing aids sit in their charger and charge while they dry, and a USB port on the back can charge a phone at the same time. There is no desiccant block to replace. The tradeoffs are price and warranty: $114.95 at Dry & Store's own shop with 1 year of cover. Check the published list of compatible charging bases before you order.
