Moisture Data Guide

Clinical Outcomes & Moisture Data

102,133 readings with detected moisture — a practical clinical framework showing that moisture is invisible, universal, and always worth removing.

Based on 102,133 Redux Pro readings with detected moisture (≥0.1 µL), November 2019 – July 2022. 532 machines at 257 clinical partners (451 locations). Improvement rates based on 33,673 readings with recorded patient outcome.

The Invisible Problem

The Redux Pro workflow captures what patients experience before and after moisture removal — revealing what they didn’t know they were missing.

“Even when patients said ‘it’s working fine,’ nearly 4 out of 5 heard improvement after treatment. They didn’t know moisture was affecting their hearing.”

Check-In (Before)

Patient Assessment

Audiologist asks: “How is your hearing aid performing?”

Patient-reported condition:
Dead • Weak • Normal

Redux Pro Treatment

Moisture Removed

Vacuum drying with ±0.1 µL precision

2.82 µL Mean moisture removed
Check-Out (After)

Patient Feedback

“Does your hearing aid sound better?”

Patient reports improvement:
Louder • More Crisp • Clearer

Most Common

“Normal” — Working Fine

Patient said their hearing aid was amplifying properly

79.7%
Still heard improvement
16,168 records 2.61 avg µL
Not Loud Enough

“Weak” — Underperforming

Patient said their hearing aid wasn’t loud enough

79.1%

“Dead” — No Sound

“Not Recorded”

Audiologist skipped the check-in screen but the patient’s post-treatment outcome was still recorded

83.9%

6,074 records 2.69 avg µL

The key insight: Moisture degrades hearing aid performance even when patients don’t perceive a problem. Nearly 80% of “Normal” devices sounded better after treatment.

Three-Zone Clinical Framework

Every reading with detected moisture (≥0.1 µL) falls into one of three clinically actionable zones. Click each zone to learn more.

Every zone means moisture was present and removed. Blue is not “all clear” — it confirms that even routine moisture accumulation is measurable and that the device benefited from professional treatment.

Routine Moisture — Device Benefited From Treatment

The most common result. Measurable moisture was present and successfully removed. Even at this level, patients consistently report clearer sound after treatment. Blue does not mean “all clear” — it means daily moisture accumulation is within the routine range.

“Your hearing devices had measurable moisture inside from everyday use. After treatment, about 3 out of 4 people in this range report noticeable improvement. Regular drying, including consistent home drying, can be a helpful part of keeping your hearing devices performing consistently.”
Yellow Zone — 1.6–4.0 µL

Moderate Moisture — Warrants Clinical Attention

Moisture exposure beyond routine daily accumulation. May reflect environmental factors (high humidity, exercise), behavioral patterns (inconsistent drying), or a specific moisture event. At this level, moisture is actively degrading device performance.

“We removed a higher level of moisture from your hearing devices today. More than 4 out of 5 people in this range report noticeable improvement after treatment. Let’s talk about your storage habits, daily care routine, and using a home dryer consistently to help manage moisture between visits.”
Red Zone — ≥4.1 µL

Significant Moisture — May Indicate Water Damage

Substantial moisture presence. For context, completely inoperable (“Dead”) devices averaged 4.33 µL. Readings at this level suggest a significant water exposure event or prolonged accumulation without treatment. Devices may have experienced component stress.

“We removed a high level of moisture from your hearing devices today. Nearly 85% of people in this range report noticeable improvement after treatment. Because devices in this range show the highest observed likelihood of benefit from professional drying, I’d recommend we talk about regular drying treatments, home drying, and your daily care routine.”

The difference between zones is the urgency of the conversation, not whether one is needed. Every reading ≥0.1 µL means moisture was present and removed — every treatment is a counseling opportunity.

Success Rate by Moisture Volume

Higher moisture levels correlate with higher perceived improvement — because the performance impact was greater before treatment.

Overall Improvement

Across 33,673 readings with recorded patient outcome

Key Pattern
76–85%

Improvement rates increase with moisture volume — higher readings are associated with more noticeable patient-reported benefit after treatment.

Why higher moisture = higher perceived improvement

This pattern is expected: devices with more moisture removed are more likely to show perceptible improvement because the performance impact was greater before treatment. A 75.7% improvement rate in the Blue Zone does not mean treatment was less effective — it means there was less perceptible degradation to reverse. The moisture was still present and still removed. Based on 102,133 readings across all zones.

Recovery by Device Condition

The “Normal” Insight

Nearly 80% of patients who said their hearing aids were “working fine” still heard improvement after moisture removal. Moisture degrades performance even when patients don’t perceive a problem.

The Preventive Case

Dead devices had higher moisture (4.33 µL avg) but only 51.0% recovery. Once damage becomes severe, full recovery is less likely. This is the strongest argument for preventive drying.
