Hearing Aid Battery Education

BATTERY EDUCATION

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 make two small cuts at the highlighted scissors slots at the bottom edge of the pack.
Once both cuts are made, bend the top dial up to release the battery. Then close the flap, rotate the dial, and repeat the steps as needed.
Remove the tab and allow it to breathe for one minute to activate the battery
Place your battery inside your hearing aid.
Your hearing aid should now be powering up and is ready for use
Be sure to store any loose batteries safely and out of reach of children.

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.
