Hearing Aid Batteries

Which battery fits which device?

Hearing aid batteries are numbered by size and their packs are colour-coded:

• Size 10 (yellow): Small; used in invisible and in-the-canal devices.
• Size 312 (brown): Common in in-the-ear and small behind-the-ear devices.
• Size 13 (orange): Used in behind-the-ear devices; lasts longer.
• Size 675 (blue): Large; used in power behind-the-ear devices.

If you do not know your device's battery size, just bring the device or tell us its model.

How long does a battery last?

Battery life depends on the power of the device, how many hours a day you use it and how much you use wireless streaming; it is usually between a few days and two weeks. If you often connect to the phone or TV, the battery runs out sooner.

Making batteries last longer

• After removing the sticker tab, wait one minute before inserting the battery.
• Store batteries at room temperature in a dry place; do not put them in the fridge.
• Leave the battery door open when you are not using the device.
• Do not carry spare batteries in the same pocket as coins and keys.

Safety

Button batteries are dangerous if swallowed. Keep batteries out of reach of children and pets, and put used batteries in a battery recycling box.

Rechargeable devices

If changing batteries is difficult for you, rechargeable hearing aids may be an option. You can try rechargeable models at our centre.
