Disposable Hearing Aid Batteries
|
Disposable hearing aid batteries are also called button batteries because of their small, flat shape. These zinc-air batteries are activated by air. When you remove the sealed sticker from the battery and it comes into contact with the air, it is automatically activated. As long as the seal is on the batteries, they are inactive, and you can store them for up to three years. Replacing the sticker on the batteries won’t deactivate the batteries, and the power will slowly drain from the batteries even if they’re not in your hearing aids. |
Disposable hearing aid batteries come in several sizes, but they’re all smaller than a dime. They’re color coded to make it easier to remember the size you need for your hearing aids. All you’ll need to do is look for the color of your hearing aid batteries, and choose the brown, yellow, orange, or blue stickers. Larger hearing aids need bigger batteries, and provide more power for your hearing aid programs. |
The best place to store your extra hearing aid batteries is in a dry, room temperature environment. This could be in your dresser drawer or in your closet. Keeping disposable hearing aid batteries in the fridge doesn’t prolong their shelf life. In fact, this humid environment could cause condensation to form under the sticker, and could activate the battery before you’re ready to use it. |
