The PerfectDry LUX is pretty handy when it comes to removing moisture from hearing aids, and it has some features that make it stand out.
One of the key things the manufacturer points out is its 360° UV-C lamp. This doesn't just help with drying—it also adds a layer of sanitization. The lamp wraps around the whole unit, bathing your hearing aids in UV-C light to help eliminate bacteria, which can reduce the risk of ear infections.
According to our research, many folks are happy with how well it sanitizes. People often mention that it not only dries their aids effectively but makes them feel confident about the cleanliness.
One person even said it helps in crispening earwax, making it easier to clean off, while another called it a "life saver" for keeping their hearing devices clean.
That said, a few people have mentioned it's tricky to know for sure how effective the UV-C light is at killing bacteria since you can't really measure it at home without special equipment.
They feel good about it based on the manufacturer's claims and their experiences, even if it's hard to see those benefits directly. One person expressed hope that it would prevent moisture-related failures, trusting in the device's capabilities even without direct proof.
So, if you're thinking about getting the PerfectDry LUX, it's generally seen as reliable and easy to use, offering drying and an extra sanitization step.
Just keep in mind that the UV-C effect is a bit of a trust exercise in the manufacturer's word.
