The key principles related to the use of hearing aid batteries include:

• Never insert new and used batteries into your hearing aid at the same time.

• Do not insert different types of batteries into the camera at the same time.

• Used batteries should be removed from the camera immediately.

• The entire set of batteries in the camera should be replaced with a new one.

• Before inserting a new battery into your hearing aid, remove the protective sticker, wait 2 minutes and only then place the new battery in your hearing aid.

The primary type of hearing aid batteries are zinc-air batteries. The main principle of their operation is the use of oxygen from the air. Oxygen reacts with a porous membrane inside the battery. The resulting molecules travel to the anode in the form of a zinc gel/powder. As a result of subsequent reactions, electrons are released, which are already set in motion with electricity. The current generated in this way can power the device. The use of air affects how we should deal with this type of battery.

Here are the basic rules for using hearing aid batteries, which you can follow to help you preserve their lifespan:

• After removing the protective sticker, let the zinc-air battery aerate freely (wait about 1-2 minutes before inserting it into the device).

• Use fresh and efficient batteries when programming your device, as these processes consume the most power.

• Store batteries at room temperature.

• Store batteries in their original packaging. Let them not touch metal objects.

• Do not allow children to play with the batteries.
