To Kill a Hearing Aid

Just when we thought we had heard it all, we were told of a new way to kill a hearing aid.

See the bite marks? This aid has been chewed up by the
owner's dog.  The earmold? Completely eaten.
Over the years we have seen hearing aids that have been "fried" in a skillet, nuked in a microwave, washed in a washer and dried in a dryer, melted in a oven, drowned in a cereal bowl, flushed down a toilet, eaten by a dog, buried in the garden and "harvested" in the spring.

BUT....

Eaten by an owner?!?

Yes, just a few years ago we saw not just one, but TWO hearing aids eaten alive by their owner. From the looks of the aids, the deaths were not pleasant and the owner stated the experience was less than pleasant for him also. Not to mention costly! So please, Don't eat your hearing aid...


...or fry it, or melt it, or nuke it, or feed it to your dog.
