DryCaddy is the simplest product on this list: a jar and a desiccant. You peel the foil off a DryCaddy Disc, write the date on it, place your hearing aids on top with the battery doors open and close the lid overnight. The molecular sieve desiccant captures moisture and odors, and each disc is replaced after two months. The $26.95 kit includes six discs, which Dry & Store says gives a full year of protection. There are no batteries, cords or settings, which is why Dry & Store pitches it for camping, the pool, the beach and short trips, and lists it among its products for rechargeable devices. The weakness is that a desiccant on its own works more slowly than heat and airflow, and there is no UV-C stage. It suits light users, a backup for travel, or anyone who wants basic moisture control for the lowest price.
