Hearing Aids Batteries



 A few years ago, the Hearing Aids battery industry standardized battery sizes and came up with a color code to help you  remember your battery size.On the back of each battery is a tab that you pull off to "activate" the battery. Each color corresponds  to a different size. Now the numbers and colors for each size are all standard.Hearing aids and cochlear implants are the best  things for the people who are hard of hearing or suffering with hearing loss. There are various types of hearing aids, including  Behind The Ear (BTE), In The Canal (ITC), In The Ear (ITE), and Completely In The Canal (CIC) hearing aids, from which you can  choose according to your preferences. No matter what type of hearing aids that you choose, it does work on battery, which  means you need to change the hearing aid batteries after a certain period of time. 
Once you are done with searching for the best Disability Products like hearing aid, you are left with an important task of searching  for the best hearing aids batteries. First of all, you need to find out the expiration time that your existing hearing aid battery will  take, which of course depends on the type of hearing aids that you are using. Understand the fact that the analog hearing aids  batteries last longer than the digital ones. A standard hearing aid battery lasts for a week or more, if not, then chances are there  that your hearing aid is not working properly. However, batteries of larger hearing aids are durable than the smaller ones.  Secondly, the exact size of the battery for the hearing aid type. The hearing aid industry has made thus task really easy for you,  by giving a certain color code to a specific type of battery. This color code is mentioned at the back side of the battery, you will  see a tab which you need to pull off to start hearing aid/activate the battery. The size of hearing aid with orange Tab would be  'size 13', with brown tab it would be 'size 312', with yellow tab it would be 'size 10' and with the blue tab the battery size would be  'size 675'.
