Why should I choose a rechargeable hearing aid?
Rechargeable hearing aids have built-in batteries that do not require regular removal, unlike hearing aids with traditional disposable batteries. Instead of removing the batteries themselves, you dock your hearing aids each night on a charging unit, similar to how smartphones recharge.
Advantages of rechargeable hearing aids:
- Long shelf life. Current generations of hearing aids use lithium ion batteries, which can hold a charge for up to 30 hours and last approximately five years before they need to be replaced, although this can vary a lot depending on how much you use battery-draining features, such as wireless streaming. Meanwhile, hearing aids with disposable batteries require you to swap in new batteries every few days to weeks, depending on the hearing aid model.
- Safer for children. Disposable button batteries are extremely dangerous if accidentally swallowed by pets or kids, yet it happens fairly often. Rechargeable hearing aids don't pose this risk, unless the entire hearing aid is swallowed!!
- Environmentally friendly. Because you're recharging batteries instead of buying new ones, you're creating less waste. However, all batteries are environmentally hazardous when not disposed of correctly.
- Easier to handle. People who have dexterity issues or those who don’t want to worry about constantly buying and changing batteries might benefit from wearing rechargeable hearing instruments. That's because disposable batteries tend to be tiny, and the packaging can be difficult to manipulate.
Rechargeable hearing aids are available in behind the ear (BTE), receiver in the canal (RIC) and custom (ITE) products. Contact us for more details.
