Hearing Aid Batteries

Bonavox & Duracell Hearing Aid Battery with All Size

Hearing aid batteries are a crucial part of owning and using a hearing aid. Without them, the device wouldn't be able to function. Batteries come in different shapes and sizes, and it's important to choose the right one for your device. There are also different types of batteries, which offer different levels of power and longevity.

When choosing a hearing aid battery, it's important to consider the following:

Size: Batteries come in different sizes, so it's important to choose one that will fit your hearing aid. The size is usually indicated on the package.

Type: There are two main types of hearing aid batteries: zinc-air and silver-oxide. Zinc-air batteries are the most common and offer a good balance of power and longevity. Silver-oxide batteries last longer but they're more expensive.

Power: Batteries come in different levels of power, indicated by a number (1.5V, 3V, etc.). The higher the number, the more powerful the battery.

Longevity: Some batteries last longer than others. This is indicated by a letter (L, Z, P, etc.). The longest lasting batteries are typically more expensive.

How long does a battery last on a hearing aid?

The average hearing aid battery will last between 3 and 22 days, depending on the size of the battery and the amount of use. Hearing aid batteries come in a variety of sizes, with the most common being size 10 (yellow), size 312 (brown), and size 13 (orange). The larger the battery, the longer it will last. Most hearing aid users will change their batteries once a week, although some may need to change them more frequently if they use their hearing aids for long periods of time or if they have a higher than average hearing loss. If you find that you are changing your batteries more than once a week, it is important to consult with your audiologist to make sure that your hearing aid is functioning properly.

Why are my hearing aid batteries dying so fast?

If you find that your hearing aid batteries are dying much faster than they used to, there are a few possible explanations. First, it's important to check that the batteries are the correct size for your hearing aid. If they're too small, they may not provide enough power to last long. In addition, be sure to store your batteries in a cool, dry place; extreme heat or cold can shorten their life. It's also worth considering whether you're using your hearing aid more often than you used to. If you find yourself turning up the volume more often or wearing your hearing aid for longer periods of time, that could explain why the batteries are running down more quickly. Lastly, it's possible that the hearing aid itself is drawing more power than it used to. If you've notice other changes in how your hearing aid is performing, it's a good idea to have it checked by a professional. By troubleshooting these potential causes, you can help extend the life of your hearing aid batteries.
