Most Important Accesssory to Hearing Aids
A hearing aid battery is the most important accessory to your hearing aids and without it you may find yourself unable to use your hearing aids, which would mean that you are not able to perform even the most mundane daily tasks. You therefore also need other basic accessories such as a hearing aid battery tester, and a hearing aid battery case to ensure you do not find yourself in a situation where your hearing aid battery is not working properly or you are out of a hearing aid battery in a circumstance where it is not possible to get a new one quickly and easily.
Commons Questions About Hearing Aid Batteries
Though it seems like the most simple part of wearing a hearing aid, there may be some questions you have about getting and using a hearing aid battery. Here are the most common questions people have about a new hearing aid battery:
- Size needed for your hearing aid:
- The hearing aid industry has standardized the size of hearing aid batteries using color codes as follows: Red Tab – Size 5; Orange Tab – Size 13; Brown Tab – Size 312; Yellow Tab – Size 10; and Blue Tab – Size 675. If you cannot remember the size of your hearing aid battery as determined by your hearing healthcare professional, you can just keep in mind the color.
- Life of a hearing aid battery:
- Highly dependent on the type of hearing aid you own, as some hearing aids require more power and so the life of the hearing aid battery is shorter in this case.
- Use of tab of hearing aid battery:
- On the back of your hearing aid battery is a tab you pull off to ‘activate’ the battery. The most common types of hearing aid batteries use Zinc Air, which means that the hearing aid battery will work only when the zinc is mixed with outside air.
- Place to purchase hearing aid battery:
- You can find the appropriate hearing aid battery for your needs either online for a wide range of hearing aid batteries or at your local drug store for a basic selection.
