Rechargeable Hearing Aids

Home    Services    Hearing Aids    Rechargeable Hearing Aids

From laptops to Bluetooth speakers, and even remote controls, we have found a way to recharge everything. Why should hearing aids be left behind? Rechargeable hearing aids are growing in popularity due to their numerous benefits such as they are energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, easier to handle, better to operate in cold weather, and easy on the wallet. You just need to place the hearing aids in the charging station when you go to bed, and they will be ready to use when you wake up the next morning. However, if you spend all day streaming phone calls and music, you might need a charging boost to make them last through the day and you won’t have to fumble around with those tiny batteries again.

While rechargeable hearing aids have been around for a while, they were not popular as they are today due to their low power output. However, with the advancement in hearing aid technology, today’s rechargeable hearing aids last longer than a full day so that you never miss a special moment because a battery needs to be changed.

Charger

Initially, rechargeable hearing aids used batteries made of Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH), but now Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) or Silver Zinc (Ag-Nz) batteries are used. This has completely changed the performance of rechargeable hearing aids.

Lithium-ion is the lightest of all rechargeable batteries and used in countless rechargeable portable devices like cameras, smartphones, laptops, and power tools. Li-ion batteries offer the fastest charging time and are the longest-lasting on the market today. The rechargeable hearing aids with Li-ion have a sealed, integrated power back system. Meaning the battery is sealed in the body of the hearing aid, thus protecting it from mishandling, dust, and moisture. This is great for safety and reliability. Li-ion battery has a life expectancy of four to six years, which means that the battery pack needs to be replaced when performance declines.

On the other hand, Silver-Zinc batteries provide power for a day, but they are not integrated and not sealed into the hearing aid. This means if you forget to recharge your hearing aid you can use a disposable battery. However, all leading hearing aid manufacturers phased out Silver Zinc batteries and offer a comprehensive range of Lithium-ion models.

Talking about the cost of rechargeable hearing aids, it varies. The price depends on the style, high-tech features, service and maintenance, and your healthcare coverage plan. Various manufacturers are offering affordable hearing aids, but they might have lower performance levels and fewer sophisticated features. Low-cost rechargeable hearing aids are less likely to have smart features, such as Bluetooth connectivity.

If you are interested in rechargeable hearing aids, you might be curious about how to make the switch and what type of hearing aid to choose. Talk to your hearing care professional at Simran Speech and Hearing Clinic about which model is right for you.
