Hearing Aid Battery Facts
One question often asked is "How long does the battery last?" Typically they last 7-14 days based on a 16 hour per day use cycle. Batteries are a minor expense in maintaining good quality hearing. Generally, the smaller the battery size, the shorter the battery life.
The most common hearing aid batteries are called "Zinc Air", which means the battery works by mixing zinc with the outside air. Once the tab has been taken off a battery, the hearing aid battery becomes active and will continue to stay active. The battery cannot be "deactivated" by placing the tab back on the battery.
Since many of today's automatic hearing aids do not have "off" switches, removing the battery at night ensures that the device is turned off. Zinc-air batteries have a "shelf life" of up to 18 months when stored in a cool, dry environment. Storing zinc-air hearing instruments in the refrigerator has no beneficial effect on their shelf life. In fact, quite the opposite. The best place to store hearing aid batteries is in a cool dry place, like the back of your sock drawer - not the fridge! |
