If you need to buy a hearing aid battery then you are soon going to find out that there are many different types of batteries on the market. This is similar to the fact that there are many different types of hearing aids on the market. Not all hearing aid batteries are the same. One hearing aid battery may last much longer than an equally priced battery. So anyone buying a battery needs to pay attention to how long the battery lasts.
Almost every hearing aid battery looks exactly the same. So to help consumers choose the right battery that’s needed, there is a color coded tab on the back of all hearing aid batteries. For example C size 13 has an orange tab, C size 10 is yellow, C size 675 is blue, and C size 312 is brown.
Once you determine which type of hearing aid battery you need, the next thing you need to do is look at how long the battery is supposed to last. Generally hearing aid batteries should last from a couple weeks to a few weeks. Of course this is dependent on what type of hearing aid you have and exactly what your hearing aid does.
One part of a hearing aid that can drain a battery is the hearing aid’s microphone. For years the problem with microphones is that they would pick-up sound but the person with the hearing aid has no way of knowing what direction the sound had come from. Now, with new technology, there is a microphone called Behind the Ear or BTE. This type of microphone allows the person to know which direction a particular sound came from. While this technology is great, it does drain the hearing aid battery more than some other types of microphones.
One part of a hearing aid battery that does often affect the life of a hearing aid battery is the microphone in the hearing aid. The microphone is what picks up the sounds. For years hearing aids helped people hear but there was no way of knowing where the sound was coming from. Now, with the new technology, there is a hearing aid called the Behind the Ear or BTE. With this technology people wearing hearing aids can now know the direction where sound is coming from. Of course this type of microphone can drain a battery more than some other types of batteries.
The speaker in a hearing aid transmits the sound to the person wearing the hearing aid. The exact type of speaker and what it does affects the life of a hearing aid battery. One of the best types of speakers to use fits right in the person’s ears and is barely visible. These types of speakers are called RITE (Receiver In The Ear). Not only are the RITE speakers difficult to spot, they also produce excellent sound. RITE speakers rarely use more of the battery’s power than other types of speakers.
When buying a hearing aid, people should consider the price and everything the hearing aid can do. Too often the drain on a hearing aid battery is overlooked. This is a mistake because needing to buy a battery more often will be very expensive over time.
A hearing aid battery should be chosen based on price and how long the battery is supposed to last. People who wear a hearing aid should continue to test out different batteries until they find a hearing aid battery that is a good price and lasts a long time.
