BATTERY EDUCATION

Proper Use

  • Remove the drained battery from your device
  • Make sure you are sitting down with your battery pack and a pair of scissors, ideally over a table.
  • Carefully use the scissors to cut and open the pack and access the hearing aid batteries one by one. Think of this as like cutting a slice of a pie.
  • Remove the RAYOVAC® hearing aid battery from the package.
  • Remove the tab and let sit for one minute to allow air to activate the battery
  • Then insert the battery into your device with the flat side facing up and close the door
  • Your hearing aid should now be powering up and is ready for use

Tips and Tricks

  • Leave new batteries sealed in their original packages
  • Plan and schedule convenient days and times when you will access your hearing aid batteries – maybe you can enlist support from a family member or friend if needed.
  • Do not remove the tab on your zinc air battery until you are ready to use it
  • Store batteries at room temperature
  • When handling your hearing aid battery, you should always do so with clean, dry hands. This prevents potential corrosion of the battery, which could affect performance.
  • A fresh battery has more power than an aged battery. Therefore, review expiration dates on the back of battery packages prior to purchase
  • Store batteries in places that cannot be reached by infants or children
  • Dispose of used batteries safely. You should not put your used batteries in the waste bin. Hearing aid batteries can be recycled the same way as other batteries. You should check with your local government on how they recommend you dispose of your used batteries.
  • Remember the packaging (card and plastic dial) can be recycled.
