If you\u2019re tired of swapping out disposable button batteries from your hearing aids every few days, know that there is another option. Rechargeable hearing aids are becoming increasingly popular, and there\u2019s now more on the market than ever before. In fact, according to a 2022 study, \u201c52% of people surveyed in 2022 had a rechargeable hearing aid.<\/a>\u201d We review more about rechargeable hearing aids in this post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Benefits of Rechargeable Hearing Aids<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Below we review some of the benefits of rechargeable hearing aids:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • They hold a long charge. <\/strong>Many rechargeable hearing aids can hold a charge for as long as 30 hours; however, if you\u2019re streaming a lot, it will be less\u2014more like 18 hours.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The batteries themselves are long-lasting<\/strong>. Not only do they hold a long charge, but rechargeable hearing aid batteries are designed to be able to reuse for up to five to seven years\u2014as long as your devices last before it\u2019s time to upgrade.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • They\u2019re easy to handle<\/strong>. For those with dexterity issues, rechargeable hearing aids are much easier to handle than hearing aids that take tiny button batteries, which need to be swapped out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • They\u2019re safer for pets and children<\/strong>. Whether you throw your hearing aid batteries in the trash (which you shouldn\u2019t do!) or store them in a container until you take them somewhere they can be recycled, you run the risk of pets or children getting into and ingesting the batteries, which are toxic even if they\u2019re used.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • They\u2019re more environmentally friendly<\/strong>. You may go through up to 100 disposable batteries a year! Over the lifespan of your devices, you would likely only go through one rechargeable battery per device as opposed to as many as 500 disposable batteries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    The Downfalls of Rechargeable Hearing Aids<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    As with most good things, there are some downfalls as well. Some of the downfalls of rechargeable hearing aids are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • They\u2019re dependent on a charger and outlet. <\/strong>If you go out of town and forget your charger or you\u2019re spending the day at Moroney Park with no access to power, you could be left without your sense of hearing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • They\u2019re limited in style options.<\/strong> Because rechargeable hearing aids are relatively new, there aren\u2019t a ton of styles available.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
