Dry & Store Global II review

The Global II is the full version of the classic Dry & Store design, and Ear Technology calls it the standard for drying appliances. It combines heat, moving air and a Dry-Brik II desiccant made of molecular sieve, which the company says drives humidity lower than heat alone and captures the moisture released from the devices. Each night starts with a 90-second UV-C cycle, then an 8-hour drying cycle at about 98 to 104°F, after which the unit switches off and simply stores the aids. The tray measures 3.9 x 3.8 x 1 inches and takes most hearing aids plus cochlear implant microphones, headpieces and processors. Batteries can stay in, with battery doors open. Two costs to plan for: the $114.95 price and a $15.95 3-pack of Dry-Brik II blocks every six months. Owners of rechargeable aids should look at DryBoost UV instead, as Dry & Store itself advises.
