I just got a new Zephyr from Amazon. The item was a new one as seen by the untouched packing. Took out the inclosed (into the Zephyr box) Dry-Brick, peeled off the foil cover, wrote the date, inserted as necessary. The device worked properly: the light and a humming sound came on after pressing the button.
Put into it my Smart IX aids with some EARWAX on the domes for the night. Next morning the light was off as required, but the WAX WAS SOFT and DIFFICULT TO REMOVE.
That was UNEXPECTED and distressing because before when I had put my aids with wax into a simple jar drier with the dessicant only (a special jar for hearing aids, sold by my Audi) for a night the wax on the domes became always hard and easy to flip off.
Looking closer at the Dry-Brick I do not see how the air contacts the dessicant inside it. I see only four tiny holes in the upper cover and no holes in the bottom one. To compare - in the jar the dessicant (rose-colored after preheating) has a wide open screen to access it.
I have bought a package of 6 spare Dry-Brick II, but before I try a new one I would much appreciate comments on how the Dry-Brick works and specifically on how its dessicant contacts the air inside the Zephyr.
Many thanks for attention and the comments.
I have also another question which seems to me less important just now. How to keep the battery compartments open (as the Zephyr instruction tells is necessary) in the Zephyr, as the battery in my left Smart IX falls out if I open the battery compartment fully (with the dome up, because it is awkward to put the dome down) ?
