Hearing Aid Batteries in the New River Valley
Hearing aids rely on small, high-performance batteries to keep you hearing clearly every day. At New River Valley Hearing & Balance, we offer a full selection of hearing aid batteries, available for purchase in both our Radford and Floyd, VA offices.
The most common type of hearing aid battery is the zinc-air button disposable battery. All major manufacturers follow the same universal color-coding system—blue, orange, yellow, and brown—to indicate size. Our team can help you choose the right batteries for your devices, ensure you get the best value, and explain where to properly recycle used batteries.
How to Get the Most Out of Your Batteries
Hearing aid batteries typically last 3 to 22 days, depending on your device type, battery size, and daily use. You can maximize performance and lifespan by following these tips:
- Store your hearing aid batteries at room temperature
- Do not refrigerate batteries
- Wash your hands before handling batteries
- Leave the battery compartment open at night to allow moisture to escape
- Remove dead batteries immediately
- Avoid storing batteries in extreme heat or cold
- Remove batteries if you won’t be wearing your hearing aids for an extended time
In addition to these helpful tips, we recommend keeping an extra set of batteries with you in case of an emergency.
Rechargeable Hearing Aid Batteries
Many modern hearing aids now feature built-in rechargeable batteries, offering a convenient alternative to disposable options. Simply place your devices in their charging station overnight, and they’ll be fully powered by morning.
Rechargeable hearing aids are ideal for individuals who:
- Prefer not to change batteries frequently
- Want a more environmentally friendly solution
- Have dexterity challenges that make handling small batteries difficult
