Quick Hearing Aid Battery Tips

Your audiologist can advise you on the type of batteries your hearing aid needs. To keep them functional for as long as possible, be sure to:

• Remove your hearing aid's batteries or open its battery compartment at night. This will reduce the drain on your batteries if you accidentally leave your hearing aid turned on. In addition, the air circulation will help the batteries stay dry, minimizing the risk of damage.
• Keep spare batteries close at hand. If your hearing aid's batteries run out, you will not want to go without your hearing aid while you order or purchase new ones. While many people believe that storing spare batteries in the refrigerator will help them last longer, this can actually damage them. Instead, store them in clean containers in a cool, dry place.
• Clean your hearing aid's battery compartment regularly to avoid damaging the batteries. You can use cotton swabs dipped in vinegar or rubbing alcohol to clean any dirt or corrosion.
