How do rechargeable hearing aids work?

Rechargeable hearing aids usually run on lithium batteries (the same battery type found in most smartphones) or silver-zinc batteries.

In order to recharge your hearing aids, place the hearing aids in the charging station before you go to bed, and the batteries will be fully charged in the morning.

What hearing aids are rechargeable?

Several hearing aid brands offer rechargeable hearing aid models. When you meet with one of our professionals, they can advise whether rechargeable hearing aids are a good fit for you. 

Currently, all rechargeable hearing aid models are behind-the-ear hearing aids.

Life made simple:

  • Rechargeable batteries are replaced every 4-5 years (on average)
  • Recharging is simple
  • Three to four hours of charge provides a full day's charge
  • Save money over time
  • All-day use
  • Environmentally friendly

Receiver-in-the-ear (RITE Hearing Aids)

One popular type of hearing aid is the RITE (Receiver-in-the-ear) model. 

  • Suited for mild to profound hearing loss
  • All components are housed behind the ear with a clear tube leading to an earpiece that fits inside your ear
  • Modern hearing devices are sleeker and slimmer than older versions and are great for people with dexterity challenges or visual impairment
  • While modern behind-the-ear models are very discreet, they are not as invisible as in-the-ear hearing aids
  • Feature powerful technology and typically have more feature options than in-the-ear hearing aids

How long do rechargeable hearing aid batteries last?

Rechargeable hearing aid batteries will take about three to four hours to fully recharge and will sustain your hearing aids for around 24 hours. The battery itself should last as long as the life of the hearing aid, which can be estimated at around four to five years. After that period, you can purchase new hearing aids. Alternatively, if you are in need of a battery replacement only, bring them to us, and we will assist in the replacement of the batteries.

Some rechargeable hearing aids are fitted with silver-zinc batteries. These batteries are removable and can be replaced easily by a hearing care professional. You can expect these batteries to last about one year.

Keeping your rechargeable hearing aid batteries healthy

We recommend placing your hearing aids in their charging station whenever they're not in use.

This way, you always know where to find them. You can charge your hearing aids as often as you want, but make sure that the charging station is plugged in. When the hearing aids are sitting in an unplugged charging station, this can drain the battery and shorten the life expectancy of your hearing aids.

In case you are not going to use your hearing aids for a while (and they do not need to be charged), simply turn them off and store them in a safe place.
