How to change a hearing aid battery
You will need to change or charge your hearing aid batteries regularly. Most hearing aids will beep when the batteries are running low. Your audiology professional will show you how to change the batteries. The process is quite simple but will take some practice. Please ask your audiology professional if you have any questions.
If your hearing aids use regular batteries, it is recommended to have spare batteries handy. Remember to turn off your hearing aids when you take them out of your ears, as this will help extend the life of the batteries.
