Hearing Aid Battery Q&A
Hidden Hearing and Rayovac are committed to keeping you informed and up-to-date with the battery industry. The experts on our hearing aid battery team have answered some frequently asked questions to help you. However if you have any other questions please send it to batteries@hiddenhearing.co.uk.
1. What is zinc air technology?
Zinc Air is the most popular power system for hearing aids. Through a unique construction that utilizes air from outside the battery, these batteries pack maximum energy into each battery cell. With zinc air batteries, you can expect fewer battery replacements, clearer tones and fewer volume adjustments.
2. What is the tab for?
The tab is designed to keep air out of the hearing aid battery. These batteries are referred to as zinc air, since air is an active ingredient in making this battery work. The tab prevents air from entering the battery and activating it before it is ready to be used. To activate your battery simply remove the tab, allowing air to enter the battery.
3. Will the batteries differ from ear to ear?
Yes – it is very uncommon that both ears have equal hearing loss. This often means that the wearer shouldn't expect equal battery life from their batteries. Unfortunately, this is a common misunderstanding for individuals that recently received their second hearing aid.
4. How often should I change my hearing aid batteries?
Many hearing aid wearers wait until their aid signals low battery life to change their batteries. Others may change them on a regularly scheduled day. Once you become familiar with your aid and batteries you can determine which system works best for you.
5. How should I store and carry my batteries?
You should store your hearing aid batteries at room temperature. Avoid storing batteries in hot places since heat will shorten the life of the batteries. Refrigeration is also not recommended. Batteries should not be carried in your pocket or purse since metal objects such as coins or keys can short out batteries. Store and discard batteries in places that cannot be reached by infants or children. If a battery is swallowed, see a doctor immediately for recommended treatment,
6. Will my battery be affected by the weather?
Yes – mostly by humidity.
Humid/tropical environments can cause the battery to take on moisture and have a shorter life. Dryness from colder environments can sometimes dry-out the battery causing premature failure.
7. What other factors impact hearing aid battery life?
Noise Environment – a battery will drain less in a library or at home versus a restaurant or rock concert. Volume Setting – if you have your hearing aid “maxed out” on volume, this will prematurely drain the battery. Sweat & Perspiration – this is a very bad thing for batteries and will cause it to short out. It is important to make sure that your hearing aids remain dry and in good condition.
