10 Tips to Make Your Hearing Aid Batteries Last Longer

There are more improvements being made for hearing aids. With additional processing control and the latest features in modern hearing aids, you can get 3-10 days of power from a single battery. The battery life for hearing aids is inconsistent. One battery might only last a couple of days, whereas the other battery might last for up to a week. The inconsistencies are due to the amount of time spent using the hearing aids, streaming, and the daily maintenance of your hearing aids. 

There are ways to get the most out of your batteries and enhance the efficiency of your hearing aids.

Here are 10 tips to get the most use out of your hearing aids:
​

    1. Give the battery 3-5 minutes to rest. After you separate the tab
        from the battery, leave the battery to sit for 3-5 minutes before
        inserting it into your hearing aid. This is known as an “activation”
        time, which permits air to spread throughout the materials
                inside the battery and activate them.   

    2.  It is important to thoroughly clean your hands before switching
         out the batteries. Getting dirt and grease on the battery may
         destroy the hearing device, and they can also block up the
         battery’s air pores.


    3.  When you are not wearing your hearing aids, you can turn it
         off or open the battery door to reduce battery drainage. It’s
         best to open the battery door at night, in order to  release
         moisture that has been collected in the hearing aids. This will
         prevent the battery from corroding and damaging the hearing
         device.   
   
    4.  Use a hearing aid dehumidifier to help absorb moisture from
         your hearing aids and batteries. This creates more efficiency in
         the battery power.  The dehumidifier also makes an excellent
         storage unit for hearing aids.


    5.  Remove the batteries if there will be an extended period of
         time when you will not be using your hearing aids. This will
         help to prevent damage and deterioration from moisture that
         is trapped in the aids.   


    6. Look at the expiration date on the batteries.  The further out
         the expiration date, the fresher the batteries are.  As time
         passes, batteries will slightly drain when they are just sitting on
         the shelf.  It’s best if you buy batteries that have an expiration
         date one year or longer from the original date of the purchase.    

    7.  Use your oldest pack of batteries first.  The latest packs will
          have the furthest expiration date.  Be sure to use the oldest
          batteries first, in order to get the most battery life out of them.

     8. 
Do not remove the stickers on the batteries until you are
          ready to use them.  The sticker on the battery keeps it “fresh”
          and unused. When the sticker is removed, the battery 
          becomes activated and begins to drain.  


      9. Store the batteries in a cool, dry location. Storing batteries   
           that are new and/or unused, in severe temperatures can 
           drain the battery or give it a shorter life.


   10. It would be a good idea to invest in a rechargeable battery
          hearing aid. 
Rechargeable hearing aids and batteries are
          beginning to come out into the market. Rechargeable
          batteries allow you to charge the battery overnight in order to
          have it ready for your whole day.  Rechargeable batteries need
          to be replaced on a yearly basis.


If you need a fresh pack of batteries, stop by at one of our Pure Sound Hearing Aids offices to purchase them.
