Wherever you store your hearing aid when not in use is a great place also to hold the batteries. For spare batteries, consider keeping them in the same place.

Do NOT store hearing aid batteries in the refrigerator. Condensation and moisture can harm them. Avoid exposing your hearing aid batteries to extreme temperatures
