3. How many sizes of hearing aid
batteries are commonly used?
 Hearing aid batteries come in four commonly used sizes, which we'll rank from
smallest to largest. Smaller hearing aid batteries are usually used in smaller
hearing aids, while larger batteries are generally used in larger, more powerful
hearing aids or cochlear implants.
 The smallest commonly used hearing aid batteries are the size 10 batteries
which has yellow colour coding on its packaging. This battery is commonly
used in completely in the ear hearing aids and in the smallest of the over the
ear slim tube style hearing aids.
 The second smallest and possibly most commonly used hearing aid battery on
the market today is the size 312 battery, which has a brown colour coding in its
packaging. This is used for a wide variety of small in-the-ear hearing aids
through to small over-the-ear and slim tube hearing aids.

4. How long do hearing aid batteries
last?
 Hearing aid batteries vary quite a bit where their usable life is concerned They all
have a shelf life of about 2 years if the sticker is still attached, but once you start
using them a variety of factors that influence their life. As a general rule of thumb,
the smaller the hearing aid battery the less its life. The larger the hearing loss, the
more drain on the battery and thus the less life you get from it. Modern hearing
aid features such as wireless hearing aid technology also drains a fair bit more
current from hearing aid batteries than a non-wireless hearing aid would.
 For instance a size 10 hearing aid battery would last about 3 or 4 days in most
hearing aids if used consistently. They are generally rated at around 80 or 90
hours of use for an average loss. Size 312 hearing aid batteries generally last
about 1 week on average when used 10 to 15 hours a day. Size 13 batteries can
last two to three weeks and size 675 batteries can last as little as 3 days in a high
current device such as a cochlear implant or up to 4 weeks in a power hearing
aid. Your audiologist should be able to advise you if the lifespan you are getting
from your hearing aid batteries are normal or not.

5. Are some brands better than others?
Hearing aid batteries come from various companies in various countries and as
such there is a great variance in their performance. Some of the best hearing aid
battery brands out there include Rayovac, Varta (many manufacturers rebrands
Varta as their own brand) and PowerOne
How do I store my hearing aid batteries
for best shelf life?
Hearing aid batteries have a shelf life of about two years and the expiry date is
usually printed on the packaging. The best way to store them is in a cool, dry
environment, out of direct sunlight. Generally the back of a drawer or cupboard is
suitable.

6. Are there any special tips to extend the
time I get out of my hearing aid
batteries?
 Most hearing aid batteries available today are Zinc Air Batteries, which are safer
but more variable than the old and dangerous Mercury based hearing aid
batteries. All Zinc Air hearing aid batteries have a sticker attached to the flat
(positive) side, which once removed reveals a few holes on the back of the
battery. Once the sticker is removed, air can flow into the hearing aid battery and
activate the battery by mixing with the zinc inside the battery.
 To ensure you get the best life out of the battery you need avoid touching the flat
side of the hearing aid battery and allow at least two or three minutes “breathing
time” before putting the battery in the hearing aid. Also make sure you disconnect
the battery from the hearing aid when the hearing aid is not in use.

7. What about rechargeable hearing
Pros:
 Rechargeable hearing aids are convenient as you generally place the whole
hearing aid in a charging unit, which turns the aid off for you before charging. So
clip the hearing aid into the recharger and off you go.
 Less need to replace batteries as rechargeable hearing aid batteries need
replacing once every 6 months, compared to a few days or weeks for normal
hearing aid batteries.
Cons:
 Rechargeable hearing aids last only about 8 hours with a brand new battery
before needing charge, which is less than the 10 to 15 hours per day, which many
people use modern hearing aids for. So you might need to revert to a normal
hearing aid battery if you have used your rechargeable hearing aid battery during
the day and wish to use your hearing aid for an evening function as well.
 Rechargeable hearing aid batteries cost a LOT more than normal hearing aid
batteries. A set of rechargeable hearing aid batteries retail for about $60 a set and
up to $600 for the charger. Traditional hearing batteries cost as little as $45 for a
box of 60, which is about one to two year's worth per hearing aid and does not
need an expensive charger.
