Hearing Aid Battery

Hearing aid batteries are small, button-shaped power sources designed specifically for use in hearing aids and other small medical devices. They provide consistent energy and are available in various sizes, typically numbered as 10, 13, 312, and 675. The color-coded tabs make it easy to identify the correct battery size for specific hearing aid devices, with yellow for size 10, orange for size 13, brown for size 312, and blue for size 675. These batteries are typically zinc-air, meaning they are activated by air once the colored tab is removed. They have a limited shelf life and should be stored in a cool, dry place. Before using, it is recommended to let the battery "breathe" for about one minute after removing the tab, which allows the battery to fully activate and prolong its life. It's essential to dispose of used batteries responsibly and follow the manufacturer's guidance for optimal performance and hearing aid care.
