Hearing aid batteries: The lifeline of your device

Hearing aids come in various sizes and styles, and so do their batteries. The most common types are:

Zinc-Air Batteries: These are the most prevalent and come in a range of sizes. They activate when a small sticker is removed, allowing air to enter and activate the zinc within.

Lithium Batteries: Known for their long life, these batteries are commonly used in rechargeable hearing aids.

The lifespan of a hearing aid battery depends on factors such as size, type, and usage. On average:

• Size 10: Lasts 3-7 days
• Size 13: Lasts 6-14 days
• Size 312: Lasts 3-10 days
• Size 675: Lasts 9-20 days

Tips to maximise battery life

• Store them in their original packaging until use.
• Keep them in a cool, dry place.
• Consider a dehumidifier if you live in a humid environment.
• Wait a few minutes after removing the tab before inserting the battery.

We can demonstrate how to handle, insert, and replace batteries for you, ensuring you’re confident in maintaining your hearing aid.
