Looking
for the right batteries for your hearing aids?
The battery industry has made it very convenient
to identify the correct type of battery to be used for just about any type of
hearing aid. By using a coding system on zinc air batteries, the small disk
battery that is most commonly used for most hearing aids, manufacturers have
provided a uniform system of identification. Products are coded by “size”
number and tab color that is specific to various hearing aid types and is displayed
on the battery packaging.
Although there are a number of manufacturers
and brands to choose from, and the quality of a hearing aid battery such as
battery life and battery power may vary slightly, you can easily match the correct
battery model to any hearing device by the product packaging.
Hearing aid batteries come in four models or
sizes. In order of the actual size of the disk from smallest to largest, the
zinc air disc battery models are: 10,
312, 13 and 675. The sizes also have corresponding color coding where Size 10
is yellow, size 312 is brown, and size 13 is orange, and size 675 is blue.
To find out which of these batteries you
hearing aid uses, check the user’s manual that you received with your hearing
device. Because hearing aids are offered in so many different models and brands,
the type of batteries they use also varies.
However, the chart below shows the batteries commonly used in the four basic
types of hearing aids, Behind the Ear, In the Ear, In the Canal and Completely
in the Canal.

The
zinc–air battery
Zinc
air batteries are most commonly used in hearing aids and watches. The terms
zinc air refer to what they are made of, as well as, how they work. The tiny
metal air batteries oxidize zinc “paste” with air. Basically, similar to a fuel
cell, where the zinc is the fuel and the reaction is controlled by regulating
the air flow. These small “button” batteries have been around since the 1970’s.
Advantages of zinc-air HearUSA Extra Advanced
batteries in hearing aids
Higher energy density
(the amount of energy stored per unit) : Zinc air batteries have more energy per unit of weight
than any other type of battery, this makes them ideal for small mechanisms that
require strong power such as digital
style hearing aids that need more power to operate at optimal levels, and hearing
aids for severe or profound hearing.
Low cost to produce: Because zinc
air hearing aid batteries are made of lower cost materials that make manufacturing less
expensive, the savings is passed on to the consumer. This cost savings is very advantageous to the
hearing aid user who will need continual battery power as long as he is a
hearing aid wearer.
Long operating life: In addition to
the added power provided by the zinc air battery also last longer. This
additional advantage gives the hearing aid more dependability with his hearing
aid, and less interruptions to due to hearing aid battery changes.
Long storage life: The zinc-air battery mechanism, when
air-tight, has an excellent shelf life. Even when not in use, batteries
gradually discharge. That’s why they are
packaged in air-tight chambers and tabbed shut. The zinc-air battery
self-dicharges at a rate of only two percent per year. The benefit unique to
hearing aid wearers is that their batteries usually come in multiple packs and
need to be stored. Additionally, hearing aid wearers especially need to have
back up batteries readily available to avoid a lapse in their hearing aid
effectiveness.
Light weight:
While it is good for a wrist watch battery to be light weight, it is
paramount for a hearing aid battery to be lightweight. Just like eye glasses,
the device will be worn on a fairly sensitive area, and be worn continually.
Because zinc-air hearing aid batteries store more energy per unit of weight than almost any
other type of battery, it is ideal for this use.
Large range of button
and coin cell sizes:
The various disc battery sizes that zinc air batteries are available in meet the
requirements of the various OTE (over the ear) and ITE (in the ear) hearing aid
designs.
