Almost all hearing aids come with a protective storage case. Newer rechargeable hearing aids are equipped with a charging case<\/a>, so you can store and charge your hearing aids at the same time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putting your hearing aids in a case helps you keep both devices together. The case allows you to put the hearing aids<\/a> in your drawer or purse without having to worry about them rattling around and getting damaged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your pet does get ahold of the case,\nchances are they will be unable to open it and get to the hearing aids. This\nprevents them from getting ill or being unable to pass a foreign object, which\ncan require costly and painful surgery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Identify the Best Storage Location <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are a number of options when it\ncomes to the best place to store your hearing aids. Those living in pet-free\nhomes can opt for anywhere, as long as it is cool and dry. Those with furry\nfriends need to be more careful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
