Owning a conventional hearing aid means that you will have to change the batteries regularly, but don’t worry. This is a relatively simple process.

At Audiology Hearing Aid Center in Euless, TX, we understand the importance of reliable and long-lasting hearing aid batteries. Typical hearing aid batteries can last anywhere from three to 22 days, depending on how long you use your hearing aids each day. If changing the batteries by hand is difficult, you can purchase a magnetic stick to assist with the process.

The most common type of hearing aid batteries are zinc-air button disposable batteries. All manufacturers use the same color scale – blue, orange, yellow, and brown – to specify the battery size. Our hearing aid center serves Euless, Colleyville, Grapevine, and Southlake, TX, we can help you find hearing aid batteries at the best prices and let you know where to recycle your old hearing aid batteries.

Should I Get Rechargeable Hearing Aid Batteries?

An alternative to disposable batteries is silver-zinc rechargeable batteries, which can power a hearing aid for a full day, require mere hours to recharge, and only need to be replaced approximately once each year. The drawback is that you’ll need help replacing them once they expire.

Additionally, rechargeable hearing aid systems that utilize lithium-ion power packs allow you to simply plug your hearing aids directly into the recharging station to recharge them each night. This eliminates the need to constantly buy new batteries. These systems are better for the environment, as well. In five years, you will probably go through eight rechargeable batteries.
