Loss of hearing clarity: Solutions or strategies anyone?

The old moisture problem. My aids are in a Dry and Store nightly. This is the time of the year the humidity soars in Florida and sweaty ears lead to distorted hearing. When I am out for the day I throw a hearing aid blower in my bag. It’s a small bulb like thing. I have to twist off the tube and just blow the dry air through it a few times. You don’t want the moisture to blow back up into the aid so twisting off the tubing is a must. Moisture collects in BTEs. I re tube my own aids so I am use to doing stuff like this. I’ve tried low moisture tubing but don’t see the difference. Did you ever notice how much better you hear in cooler weather...or even cold weather? Although I have been in freezing weather when on vacation and, if out too long, that extreme cold affects the sound quality at times. But then my eyeballs are freezing too. I dunno.

My tv volume tends to be low. I guess it’s because the distance from me to the tv is not that far or maybe it’s just a good tv volume wise. Sounds loud enough for me. Other people have to turn it up.

Regards from hot hot hot ....and it’s just the start....FL
