use.
The different battery sizes are 675, 13, 312, 10, and 5. The 675 battery is the biggest and is in use with the behind the ear hearing aids, the number 10 and number 5 batteries are the smallest and they are used for the very tiny completely in canal hearing aids. Battery life can vary from one week to six weeks depending. It is important that you make sure you have a quality battery in your hearing aid, especially in the advent of the digital hearing aids and the more powerful hearing aids. They require a constant voltage in order for the circuitry to operate at its’ maximum efficiency. Sometimes, the cheaper batteries will give performance
problems. Batteries no longer
need to be stored in the refrigerator. The zinc air batteries have a peel
tab across the back of the battery. Once
this tab is removed, the battery becomes activated.
For this reason, it is not recommended to peel the tab off the
battery before you need the battery.
If you have questions about your batteries, certainly ask your
dispenser. You can also
purchase battery testers to check the voltage level of your battery. This
information is general in nature and not intended as advice or to replace
contacting your dispenser, audiologist or physician.
