Hearing Aid Battery Tips

Q. How can I tell what size I need?
A. A while back, the hearing aid battery industry standardized battery sizes and came up with a color code to help you remember your battery size.

On the back of each battery is a tab that you pull off to "activate" the battery. Each color corresponds to a different size. Now the numbers and colors for each size are all standard. Sometimes you may see other letters after the numbers, but those are arbitrary letters. The most important thing to remember is size and color as noted in the table.

  

Q. How long will the battery last before I have to change it?
A. That depends on the type of hearing aid you wear. Some hearing aids require more power and therefore will have a shorter life than others. Digital hearing aids require more battery than an analog hearing aid, simply because more complicated circuits are in a digital hearing aid. Typically, battery life can range anywhere from 5 to 7 days. If you're experiencing a shorter battery life, the hearing aid may not be working properly, and should be evaluated. Ask your Doctor to evaluate your hearing aid and check the battery contacts, as well as test battery drain.

How you store hearing aid batteries may also impact how long the battery lasts. Zinc Air Hearing aid batteries are activated once the tab is pulled off so if you store in an area that can reach high temperatures (car, near oven in kitchen) it may erode the adhesive that keeps the tab adhered to the battery.

  

Q. What happens when I take the tab off the battery?
A. The most common hearing aid batteries are called "Zinc Air", which means the battery works by mixing zinc with the outside air. Once the tab has been taken off a battery, that hearing aid battery becomes active and will continue to stay active. The battery cannot be "deactivated" by placing the tab back on the battery. The best advice is to keep the tabs on until you need a new battery. If you have a dead battery, keep them separate from your fresh battery supply. Do not keep them together in the same case, as this could lead to accidentally mixing the batteries. As long as you leave the tab on your batteries, you can expect a shelf-life of approximately three years. However, after three years, the battery may not perform as well.
