Hi! I’m Andy with EarMall.com, and in this video I’m going to show you how to change the batteries in your hearing aids.
When it comes to hearing aid batteries, there are 4 sizes. The smallest is yellow size 10, brown size 312, orange size 13, and the largest is blue size 675.
When you’re ready to use your battery, the first thing you want to do is to peel the sticker off. This turns the battery on; this battery is now wearing down. Whether I use it or not, this battery will be dead in 30 days. Putting the sticker back on does not turn this battery off. If we look at the battery, it has a nice flat side, and a nice beveled side. What do we have here is a custom full shell hearing aid. When it comes to changing batteries, it doesn’t matter if we are talking about a full shell, a small little CIC, or even the canal.
The basic principle of changing batteries in a hearing aid is the same. If you look at the face plate you’ll see there’s a tab, and what you all need to do is put your finger nail underneath that tab and the battery door will open nice and smoothly. If you look at the battery door, you’ll see there’s a nice little sit, little ledge right there. And if you remember about the hearing aid batteries, I said there was a beveled side, and a flat side, that beveled side fits nice and smoothly up against that seat, and the battery door shuts nice and easily. To move that battery, you just have to push it out of the side. If you put in the battery backwards, and put that flat side against that ledge, that battery door will not shut. If you are in trouble shutting your battery door, do not force it shut. Take a peek, you may have that battery in backwards. You just want to pull it out, put it in correctly, and that battery will shut nice and smoothly. A little tip, if you don’t have very good feeling in your fingers, we have an instrument that’s a brush and a pick that’s used to clean hearing aids. Also has a magnet on the end. That magnet can be used to remove the batteries, or can be used to insert the batteries. And that’s all there is to it.
