Rechargeable batteries are primarily available for the Behind-the-Ear (BTE) style of hearing aids. Depending on the type and size of the rechargeable batteries, some can last for several days without recharging!

Standard Disposable Ones

These batteries have become less common with the availability and convenience of rechargeable batteries. But depending upon the battery, it may be the only type of battery available for the hearing aid.

We are here to help! We can help tell you which size and color of hearing aid batteries you need. Another good tip is to keep the opened battery package for easy reference or set up a recurring shipment to bring the batteries straight to your door on a schedule.

It’s easy. Keep at least a month’s supply of hearing aid batteries on hand, about eight to 10, and order more once you’re down to four to allow for shipping time.

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
