Batteries are the one component of hearing aids that can become really costly. The expense of replacing hearing aid batteries is one of the biggest economic challenges that a consumer faces when purchasing hearing aids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even worse, hearing aid batteries always seem to quit when you need them most. This is a real issue, even when it comes to rechargeable models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can take some steps to increase the life of your hearing aid batteries so you won’t be replacing them every other day. Here are 6 tips to help you get more life out of your batteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Make Informed Decisions About Purchasing Hearing Aids<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It all begins when you first start shopping for hearing aids. Battery life is determined by factors including hearing aid features and quality of brand. And not all battery brands are created equally. Cheaper hearing devices will often have lower-quality components and inferior batteries. Be certain to have a discussion with us because otherwise, you’ll be replacing those batteries constantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you shop for your new hearing aids, consider which features you would want and compare different brands and models. The batteries in wireless models die twice as fast as models that have wires. Larger hearing aids have longer battery life. Smaller models will need new batteries every couple of days, while larger devices may get a couple of weeks of battery life before they need to be replaced. Try to find a compromise between getting all of the features you want and battery life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Proper Storage is Important<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Opening the battery compartment at night will help prevent the batteries from draining as quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Store your batteries in a dry, cool spot. Moisture and high temperatures can negatively affect battery cells. Keep your batteries away from heat sources like light bulbs and the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A dehumidifier can also be really helpful. By doing this, the hearing aid and the batteries will be protected. Ambient moisture can wreak havoc on the device’s fragile components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Use Safeguards When Replacing the Batteries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Make sure your hands are dry and clean. Dirt, humidity, and skin oils can adversely impact battery life. Keep the plastic tabs in until you’re ready to use the batteries. Zinc is mixed with air to power the newest hearing aid batteries. That’s the last thing you want until you’re ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you put the batteries in, but after you pull the tab, leave them out for about five minutes. By doing this you could prolong the battery life for days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Experiment With Different Batteries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cheaper batteries will obviously drain faster than higher-quality ones. Consider what type of battery you’re using and where you’re getting them, not just the brand. Some big box stores have bulk deals on quality batteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be careful about buying batteries from online sources like eBay. Don’t use batteries that have gone past their expiration dates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can help you find a good price on quality batteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Eventually, the Batteries Will Die<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At some point, all batteries die. Having some idea of when that will happen can help you avoid finding yourself in a pinch. Create a schedule to help you know when your batteries need to be swapped out. After a while, you will have a pretty good idea of the correct replacement interval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep a journal about which features drain the battery fastest and what brands of battery work best in your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Think About Going Rechargeable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the top features of some modern-day hearing aids is that they’re rechargeable. They tend to cost a bit more initially, but you will save a lot by not needing to buy batteries. If you want a device that’s loaded with modern features, like Bluetooth, the best choice will be a rechargeable model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investing in hearing aids can be somewhat costly and so can buying batteries. Some due diligence can save you money and help you extend battery life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
