Posted on 20th June 2023 at 16:58
This guide will go over how to change the disposable batteries of two different styles of hearing aids: receiver-in-the ear and in-the-ear.
How to change receiver-in-the-ear hearing aid batteries.
Step one: Open the battery door.
Step two: Remove the existing battery.
Then take out a fresh battery from a packet and remove the sticky label from the '+' side of the new battery - placing the new battery into the battery drawer of the hearing aid.
Step three: Make sure that the '+' side of the battery faces the '+' on the battery door.
Step four: Close the battery door - if the battery has been inserted correctly the hearing aid will play a jingle which you can hear when held close to the ear.
How to change in-the-ear hearing aid batteries.
Step one: Fully open the battery door and remove the existing battery in the hearing aid.
Step two: Take out a fresh battery from a packet and remove the sticky label from the '+' side of the new battery.
Step three: Insert the new battery into the battery door - make sure that the '+' side of the battery faces the '+' on the battery door.

It is a good idea to perform regular maintainence on your hearing aids including replacing the wax filters, domes and cleaning them to ensure you get the best performance and prolong their lifespan.
You will know when a hearing aid's battery is low and needs changing as most models will intermittently play some audible signals such a jingle or beeping until it loses power completely.
