Here And Now

All hearing aids require a battery to power them, and until recently all hearing aid batteries were disposable. However, as technology has progressed, rechargeable batteries have been introduced always ensuring consistent and high-quality performance from the aids.

Disposable hearing aid batteries feature in some of the more traditional hearing aids. The batteries are available in 4 sizes, and typically last for 5-7 days depending on the needs of the user, wear time, listening environments and size of the battery. Once the battery loses power, it requires changing. This can be fiddly and require batteries to be kept on you at all times in case of this eventuality.

Rechargeable batteries are available in most hearing aids now and have changed hearing aid use dramatically.  

No batteries to change – With rechargeable batteries you do not have to deal with changing batteries when they run out or always carrying spares.

Economic benefits – Although there is an initial cost for the hearing aids, there is no need to regularly buy batteries for the device.

Battery life – A lot of newer hearing aid batteries only need charging once per day, with some lasting 24 hours off one charge.

Easy to charge – Charging hearing aids could not be any simpler. Place the hearing aids in their charging case to charge overnight while you sleep.

Environmental benefits – Switching to rechargeable hearing aids also have environmental benefits. Over a period of 3 years, 2 hearing aids would use more than 300 disposable hearing aids compared to rechargeable aids only using two.
