Hearing Aid Batteries and Accessories
You just got fitted for a hearing aid and you can’t wait to hear all the sounds you’ve been missing. Then you find out there’s a list of hearing accessories that you may also need. Don’t worry, there is some maintenance involved with caring for your hearing device, but upkeep is not costly or complicated.
Hearing Aid Batteries
Which type of hearing aid batteries should I buy?
Hearing aid batteries are color-coded to make it easier to locate the right battery for your hearing aid. The most common ones are brown (312), blue (675), orange (13), and yellow (10).
Why do my hearing aid batteries die so quickly?
Most hearing aid batteries are meant to last 5-7 days, but if you stream music or use other features constantly they may run out faster. Rechargeable batteries are designed to last up to 24 hours for some models. Ask us how to improve the life of your hearing aid batteries.
How do I make my hearing aid batteries last longer?
There are a few tips and tricks to stretching the life of your hearing aid batteries. For example, opening up the back of your hearing aids at night, shutting them off when they are not in use, and keeping them dry. For more tips, come in for a clean and check.
How many hearing aid batteries should I have on hand?
You should keep about 8 to 10 on hand and carry around extras in case you need them. If you have a rechargeable battery, bring the charging case with you if you’ll be out for an extended period.
Should I remove hearing aid batteries at night?
In most cases simply opening up the back will help keep the charge longer on your batteries. If you live in a very humid area or they are exposed to moisture you may want to take them out, wipe them down, or invest in a hearing aid dehumidifier.
Should I get a rechargeable hearing aid battery?
The technology for rechargeable hearing aid batteries is improving all the time. Some rechargeable batteries last 24 hours and can be recharged while you sleep. In this scenario, you’d just have to replace the battery once a year, though some models last up to 5 years. Ask us what options are available for your model of hearing aid.
