Hearing Aid Batteries

While buying hearing aids, we have to first opt between Rechargeable and disposable battery type hearing aids.

Right selection according to our needs is very important for comfortable use of the hearing aids.

Two types of hearing aid batteries are present in the market

Rechargeable Batteries

Many hearing aid models come with rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. These batteries are usually recharged at night with a charger, when a hearing aid wearer takes out their hearing aids to sleep.

 Standard Disposable Hearing Aid Batteries

Zinc-air disposable batteries, also known as “button batteries,” are the most common option. 

Zinc-air batteries are air-activated, a sticker helps them to remain inactive until it is removed. Once the sticker is removed from the battery, oxygen will interact with the zinc which produces electricity.

For the optimum performance from a zinc-air hearing aid battery, wait for a minute after removing the sticker before using it.

Putting the sticker back on the battery will not stop the battery to deplinish, so once the sticker is removed it will work till whole of the zinc is finished in the battery and the the battery has to be disposed off

Zinc-air batteries have a shelf life of up to three years when stored in a room temperature, dry environment. Though this also depends upon the marked expiry date by the manufacturer.

 Storing hearing aid batteries in the refrigerator has no benefits.It can also, damage the batteries so in no circumstances you should store your batteries in the refrigerator

Most Hearing Batteries were earlier manufactured with very little amounts of mercury to assist with conductivity and to stabilize internal components, but it is not used now by most manufacturers

Sizes of disposable hearing aid batteries

Hearing aids come in many different size and with different power needs. Larger hearing aids require larger batteries.

Hearing aids for people with severe or profound hearing loss require more power and larger batteries.Keeping this in mind different size of batteries are available.

There are five sizes of hearing aid hearing aid batteries available in the industry. The sizes from smallest to largest are: 5, 10, 312, 13 and 675. Size 5 hearing aid batteries are rarely used. The four  common hearing aid battery sizes are:

·         Size 10 – 5.8 mm width by 3.6 mm height

·         Size 312 – 7.9 mm width by 3.6 mm height

·         Size 13 – 7.9 mm width by 5.4 mm height

Best practices for the optimum use of a hearing aid battery

While we cannot extend non-rechargeable battery life, these tips will ensure the power is not being wasted.

·        Turn off the hearing devices, when not in use and leave the battery compartment door open overnight. Not only will this help keep battery power from being wasted, it will allow any moisture that has built up from the day’s use to evaporate overnight. 

·        Use a good dehumidifier for your hearing aid, this will also increase the life of your hearing aid. A dehumidifier can be used in the night for eight hours to remove the moisture build-up, and this will also extend the battery life. 

Just make sure to remove the disposable batteries from the hearing aid before keeping hearing aid in the dehumidifier. Everyday use of dehumidifier is not necessary unless you live in a tropical environment.

You can buy the best dehumidifier in the market from here like the one in the picture below.

·        To get best performance from your batteries, always store them at room temperature. Exposure to high temperatures and humid environments will shorten battery life.

·        Also, batteries shouldn’t be carried loose in pockets, a purse or a backpack where they might come into contact with other metal objects like coins or keys that can short-circuit the hearing aid batteries.

Color-coding for disposable hearing aid batteries

Because size differences are not easy to remember, battery packaging is color-coded so purchasing the correct one is easier. 

·         Size 10 batteries – yellow color packaging

·         Size 312 batteries – brown color packaging

·         Size 13 batteries – orange color packaging

·         Size 675 batteries – blue color packaging

Battery life for hearing aid batteries

Non-rechargeable hearing aid batteries can last anywhere from five to 14 days, based on a 16-hour day of wear. This is completely dependent upon the size of the battery and power needed by the hearing aid. Normally, smaller batteries have shorter battery life than larger ones.

The average lifespan of hearing aid batteries is as follows:

·         Size 10 – four to eight days

·         Size 312 – four to ten days

·         Size 13 – seven to fifteen days

·         Size 675 – ten to twenty-one days

If you are experiencing shortened battery life, there may be an issue with the hearing aid device. In this case, you should consult your user manual or contact your hearing professional to ensure everything is working in your favor.

Hearing aid battery brands

Common manufacturers of non-rechargeable hearing aid batteries include Power-One and Signia (by Siemens).

 However, many hearing aid manufacturers sell batteries in bulk to hearing care professionals, and the batteries may be labeled by the brand name of the hearing aid manufacturer.

Another common practice is private labeling of batteries. This means the hearing care professional may purchase batteries in bulk and have them labeled with the name, address,  and logo associated with them.

Regardless of the branding, most hearing aid batteries are made by trusted companies.
