Storing batteries Here you can read about how to store hearing aid batteries.

Good advice on storing batteries

Keep the batteries in their original package.

Keep them in a cool place, although not in a refrigerator.

Use batteries that are as fresh as possible – check the expiry date on the front of the pack.

Be sure to keep batteries out of the reach of children, who may otherwise place them in their mouths and swallow them. In case of ingestion, contact your physician.

Keep the batteries out of the reach of pets.

Avoid major temperature fluctuations

If the hearing aid has been exposed to major temperature fluctuations (extreme heat/cold), droplets of water may form in the hearing aid (condensation). The droplets can block the small air holes in the battery, so that it stops working. In this case, dry the battery with a clean cloth and reinsert it into the hearing aid to see if it works.

Avoid vibrations and blows

If the battery has been exposed to vibrations and blows, air may have leaked under the sealing label and into the battery. The battery will then discharge itself and must be discarded.

Check the expiry date regularly

If batteries are kept for a long time, sticky residue may remain on the battery when the sealing label is removed. The residue can cause the hearing aid to perform intermittently by blocking the battery air holes. Remember to regularly check the expiry date on the front of the battery pack.
