Just How Long Should I Expect My Hearing Aid
Batteries to Last?
The question of just how long hearing aid batteries should be expected to last isn’t
as simple to answer, as it seems, because battery performance hinges on many
factors. Battery life depends on the model of your hearing aid, and can vary widely
across different models created by the exact same manufacturer. The way you use
your hearing aid will also influence battery life; the more hours a day it is turned on,
the more often you will use up batteries.
In addition, there are differences in
battery life between battery
manufacturers, and the same
manufacturer may offer different lines of
batteries, some that are supposed to
last for a longer period of time than
others. Battery life also depends on
battery type; for example some types
are only discharging power when they
are in a hearing aid that is on, and other
types (for example, zinc-air batteries)
start losing power as soon as you remove the adhesive strip on the bottom of the
battery and they’re exposed to oxygen, whether the hearing aid is turned on or not.
If consider new hearing aids, it’s a good idea to do some research on the different
models and the types of batteries they use to help you make the best choice. If you
have an existing hearing aid and are searching for the longest lasting batteries for it,
the Internet can be a fabulous source of comparative ratings and reports.
To make things somewhat easier for you, hearing aid batteries are produced in four
common sizes, each of which is marked with a distinct color code, which is always

the same no matter who the manufacturer is. See the approximated
battery life below to get a basic idea of how long batteries of each size
can be expected to last:
• Size 10 – Yellow tag – 80 hours
• Size 13 – Orange tag – 240 hours
• Size 312 – Brown tag – 175 hours
• Size 675 – Blue tag – 300 hours
To ensure the longest life for your batteries when they’re in the hearing aid, turn the
hearing aid off when you are not using it. Store your unused hearing aid batteries at
room temperature, indoors, and in their original, unopened packaging to ensure
their longest possible life.
