Zinc-Air Batteries
Zinc air is the most common type of hearing aid battery. Available colors are blue, orange, brown and yellow. Each color comes with a corresponding numerical size to further distinguish it from the others. With this coordination, hearing aids are set up to prevent damage by making it difficult to insert the wrong battery type. This is a built-in feature that has saved many users from disrupting their current prescription.
All zinc-air types have differing lifespans, ranging anywhere from five to 21 days. The hearing aid style, size and features will all play a role in how fast the battery drains. Some days you will have heavy usage, and other days the device will barely get a workout. Having spare zinc-air batteries to replace depleted ones is recommended. Keep them in a cool, dry place and they will be ready for activation in a moment’s notice.
Lithium-ion
Lithium-ion batteries are also known as rechargeable batteries. When your hearing device is not in use, place them in a dock for a full charge. Just like a cell phone, the hearing aid can be topped off with a charge so that you never have to change the battery. This is a convenience feature, and not all hearing aids are compatible.
Rechargeable batteries are not an upgrade, they are a built-in feature. If your hearing aid doesn’t support it out of the box, then chances are it uses zinc-air or is a disposable hearing aid. This is why it is important to prioritize features during the evaluation for hearing aids. Rechargeable devices are, convenient, and a huge long term cost saver.
Tips for Storing Batteries
Ensuring the proper storage of your hearing aid batteries is essential for preserving their longevity and optimizing their performance. To maintain their integrity, it is imperative to store them in a cool and dry environment, shielded from excessive heat, direct sunlight, and moisture. Avoid placing them in high-humidity areas, such as bathrooms or kitchens prone to steam. Utilize their original packaging or invest in a dedicated battery case to prevent contact with metallic objects or other batteries. Prior to use, always verify the expiration date and appropriately dispose of any expired batteries.
