In this session, we will discuss the critical role of moisture management in hearing instruments and how Redux, an undisputed leader in drying technology, addresses this issue. With over 72 issued patents and trusted by millions of users worldwide, Redux offers the most advanced and reliable drying solutions for both professional and consumer hearing instruments.  We will explore the timeline of Redux's development, from its formation in 2012 to its market expansion in 2023. We will also examine the barriers to hearing instrument adoption and the connection between hearing loss and cognitive decline.  Moisture is a significant factor affecting the performance of hearing instruments, leading to costly repairs and replacements. Environmental factors, human factors, and user behavior contribute to moisture-related issues in hearing instruments. We will delve into the limitations of current drying methods and how Redux's patented solution addresses these shortcomings.  Redux Pro and Redux Home offer complete moisture removal with real-time data verification, improving the user experience and increasing profitability for practices. By proactively addressing moisture-related concerns, hearing care professionals can ensure the consistent and peak performance of their patients' hearing instruments, leading to improved communication and quality of life.  Join us for this informative session to learn more about the benefits of Redux technology and how it can revolutionize the hearing care industry.
