HOW LONG CAN YOUR HEARING AID BATTERY LAST?

 There are many factors that affect how long a hearing aid battery last. We list here some of the most common factors. All these factors combine to make a person’s hearing loss experience as unique as a person’s “fingerprint”.

a.     An individual’s hearing loss

As severity increases, increased amplification is required. This increases battery current, and therefore reduces battery life.

b.      Sound Environment

The noise around you can affect battery life. A battery will drain less in a library as compared to a restaurant or rock concert. Also, if the volume is “maxed out” on your hearing aid this will prematurely drain the battery.

c.      Personal hearing aid usage                              

Two things to take into account:
How many hours a day do they wear their hearing aid?

How many days a week do they wear their hearing aid?

d.     Device differences

The more advanced the hearing aid is, the more power is required. Features in today’s digital instruments like wireless streaming, Bluetooth connection and noise cancellation all require high current to function. Below you can see how the current demands on the hearing aid batteries change as the more advanced features are used.

e.     The Natural Environment

Dryness As humidity is reduced, batteries may dry out, reducing the battery life.

Temperature As temperature is reduced, hearing aid battery voltage is lowered, which reduces battery life.

High Humidity As humidity increases, batteries may take on moisture, interfering with the natural discharge expansion.

Altitude As altitude increases, the percentage of oxygen in the air is reduced. This can cause the battery to reach the endpoint earlier.
