Hearing Aid Batteries
Hearing aid batteries have the power to make your hearing aids function appropriately or instead malfunction to such an extent that you are tempted to take out the audiology aids altogether. You probably know that a hearing aid battery is small and usually round. They cannot be compared to the batteries you would normally insert into your child’s toy, and therefore it is important to understand the differences these batteries pose. Whether you purchase Varna discount hearing aid batteries or go for the Duracell hearing aid batteries – you will most likely purchase one of four sizes:
- There is the size 10, which is sometimes also called a size 230, which oftentimes will show a yellow dot.
- The next size is 13, denoted by an orange dot.
- Then comes the size 312 coded with a brown dot.
- Last but not least are the size 675 and a blue dot.
It does not matter if you buy discount hearing aid batteries, hearing aid batteries that claim vociferously to be the longest lasting hearing aid batteries on today’s market, or if you are just looking for the dirt cheap hearing aid batteries in the discount store – this color coding is a universal manufacturer system and will quickly clue you in to the kind of battery you are looking at. The names are sometimes a bit trickier because some manufacturers will add letters before and after the size numbers, thus making it harder to discern which kind of hearing aid batteries are actually being sold.

While hearing aid batteries are so small that it is tempting to just stuff a few spares into your jacket pocket – together with the gum wrappers and spare change - you will need to fight the urge to do so. A Toshiba hearing aid battery can be shorted out by getting in contact with metals, and your keys, coins, or paperclips may actually render your hearing aid batteries useless. Additionally, resist the habit of storing Ayovac hearing aid batteries – or any other brand for that matter – in the refrigerator. It is an old wife’s tale that this will extend the life of the hearing aid batteries. Discount zinc air batteries will be shipped with a little sticker over the outside. Do not remove this sticker until you are ready to use the battery, since the moment the sticker is removed the clock denoting the useful life of your battery has begun to tick!
Sincere there are no bona fide answers to the question of how to test hearing aid batteries for quality – such as the Power One hearing aid battery, any kind of discount hearing aid batteries, or even rechargeable hearing aid batteries – and since it does not matter if you chose Power One hearing aid batteries as long as the coding is correct, it is up to your pocket book to decide how much money you are willing to spend on these little energy sources.
