The summer heat brings warm weather for many. For individuals with hearing aids, the warm weather and high humidity levels can mean diminished hearing.
Humidity has a negative effect on hearing aids, causing the moisture to interfere with the ability to hear at normal levels.
When possible, try and keep the device in a container to help protect it from the moisture in the air. If you are around a group of people, do not be embarrassed to tell them that you are having trouble because of the weather.
