Make sure you buy fresh batteries of the correct size for your hearing aids. Stale batteries will have a reduced life and may result in poor performance from your hearing aids. Certain brands of batteries can cause intermittent function. It’s important to use a reputable brand. We stock high-quality batteries, and with our high turnover, they are always fresh. If you are unable to come in to purchase batteries, we will post them to you.
Another tip for better battery life – when using a new battery wait 5 minutes after removing the sticker before placing the battery in your hearing aid. This gives the battery time to ‘charge up’, which it does by exposure to air.
Moisture damage is usually caused by accidental wetting or humidity. Develop a habit of removing your hearing aids prior to showering or swimming and towel dry the ears before reinserting them. Remember to also remove the hearing aids before applying perfumes, aftershaves or hairspray.
