This comprehensive guide explores hearing aid batteries, covering disposable zinc-air options and rechargeable alternatives like lithium-ion (e.g., Nearity’s 36-hour HearPod Pro) and NiMH. It details four standard sizes—Size 10 (3-5 days), Size 312 (4-8 days), Size 13 (5-10 days), and Size 675 (10-14 days)—and their compatibility with hearing aid styles (BTE, ITC, etc.). Key factors affecting lifespan include usage patterns, Bluetooth consumption, and charging habits. Practical tips include powering down devices when idle, storing disposable batteries in cool/dry conditions, and optimizing rechargeable care by avoiding overcharging. Rechargeable batteries offer long-term cost savings (up to $300 over 3 years) and environmental benefits through programs like Call2Recycle. Maintenance guidelines for both battery types ensure optimal performance and longevity.
