How long do these Hearing Aid batteries usually last?
Convǝrsǝ Crazy asked:
I don’t really notice, because sometimes, my left batteries go first, then i change that, then the right goes, and then i change that LOL. On the packet it says PowerOne High Level Hearing.

They don’t seem to last very long according to my Mum.

Mine normally last for about a week or two…I always find it weird though that one of the batteries dies a day or two before the other one, and I put them in on the same day.

I use my hearing aids about 12 hours a day and change batteries about once a week. I always change both as I don’t care to have batteries in my pocket, even if they are in a blister pack.
The real answer to your question will depend on the capacity of the battery, the consumption of the device and the amount of time they are on. BTW, if you don’t remove the batteries at night you could leave one or both turned on accidentally and discharge the batteries prematurely.

Mine lasts about two weeks - it’s annoying when one goes then half an hour later so does the other one! They never seem to go at the same time lol x

One factor is how long and how often do you use your Hearing Aids.

Not sure but perhaps you could rig something up with an old car battery so they would last longer. All you would have to do is find out what voltage they are as a car is a 12volt system. Get some wire and make some kind of a trolley out of metal and pram wheels so you could pull the battery along with you, as it is heavy and you would get tired after a while.
Just remember that the red terminal is positive and the black is negative.
If you connected these the wrong way round you may do irreversible damage to your hearing aids. Good luck!!

About 2 weeks. But it depends on the volume you have them set at, how often they are on and other factors. The reason they last different times and they are very likely set at different settings.

Mine last about a week to a week and half. Since I wear them all the time, except when I’m sleeping, showering and swimming, I think that’s a reasonable amount of time.
Hearing aid batteries aren’t that expensive and since they come in packs of 10, one pack will last me about a month and a half.
Change the batteries at the same time. That way, they should die in a fairly close time frame.
