Hearing Aid Batteries and Accessories
After you have chosen the right hearing aids for you, it is time to choose the best hearing aid accessories and batteries to compliment and help maintain them.
Because hearing aids are meant to be worn daily, they require occasional upkeep to stay in working order. Some of the necessary accessories needed to care for and maintain your hearing aid may be provided by your hearing care provider as part of your hearing aids purchase. Others you may need to purchase separately, and are purely optional.
Hearing aid batteries are available in four different sizes. From smallest to largest, these are: 10, 312, 13 and 675. Your hearing aids will run on one of these specific types of batteries, and your hearing care provider will usually provide a small number of batteries to get you started. Batteries use a standardized colour coding system to help ensure you get the right type.
- Size 10 batteries - yellow
- Size 312 batteries - brown
- Size 13 batteries - orange
- Size 675 batteries - blue
