We recommend you keep them in a cool dry place such as a desk drawer or bedside cabinet. The battery will then produce voltage for a limited time, regardless of how many hours of use which is why occasional use to save battery life is often futile! Environmental factors can also reduce battery life, such as very low or very high humidity, very cold conditions, and high altitude. Once the sticker is removed from the battery, air enters the cell and activates the current producing process. The more advanced features that are activated, such as wireless connectivity, the faster the battery drain.Ī very steady voltage is required and so Zinc-Air batteries are used, which are very different than most other batteries used around the home. It is important to keep in mind that hearing aids are miniaturized computers making thousands of calculations every second, and then amplifying the processed sound into the ear. The most common size, a 312 battery, lasts around 7-9 days. On the other hand, a large loss of hearing will require a more powerful hearing aid, and therefore a larger battery is required, with size 13 batteries lasting 12-14 days and size 675 batteries used in superpower hearing aids lasting 3-4 weeks.

The smallest is size 10, which with typical use will last between 3-4 days. Small discreet hearing aids require a smaller battery with a shorter expected life. How long a hearing aid’s battery lasts depends on several factors, first of which is the battery size.
