Hearing Aid Batteries
Disposable Zinc-Air Batteries
Most traditional hearing aids use disposable zinc-air batteries, which are activated by removing a small pull tab that allows oxygen to enter the battery. Zinc-air batteries are available in four standard sizes, color-coded for easy identification:
| Size | Color Code | Common Use | Typical Life |
|---|---|---|---|
| Size 10 | Yellow | CIC, IIC | 3–7 days |
| Size 312 | Brown | RIC, ITC, smaller ITE | 7–10 days |
| Size 13 | Orange | BTE, ITE, larger RIC | 10–14 days |
| Size 675 | Blue | Power BTE | 14–20 days |
Tips for getting the most from your batteries:
- After removing the tab, wait 1–2 minutes before inserting the battery
- Store unused batteries at room temperature — not in the refrigerator
- Open the battery door at night to extend battery life
- Keep spare batteries on hand, especially when traveling
Rechargeable Hearing Aid Systems
Many modern hearing aids — particularly RIC and BTE styles — are available with built-in lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. Simply place them in the charging case overnight and they’re ready to use all day.
Rechargeable systems are ideal for people who have difficulty handling small batteries, those with an active lifestyle, or anyone who prefers the convenience of not buying and replacing batteries regularly.

Cleaning Tools
Regular cleaning extends the life of your hearing aids and keeps them performing at their best. Essential cleaning tools include:
- Multi-function cleaning brush (brush, wire loop, and magnetic battery tool)
- Wax pick and wire loop tool for clearing wax from sound ports
- Cleaning cloth for wiping down the hearing aid surface
- Vent cleaning tool for clearing the ventilation canal
Wax Guards (Wax Filters)
Wax guards are small filters placed in the sound outlet of receiver-in-canal and in-the-ear hearing aids. They prevent earwax from clogging the receiver and are replaced every one to three months depending on your wax production. Keeping wax guards fresh is one of the most important maintenance steps for RIC and in-ear devices.
Domes and Eartips
Domes are the soft silicone tips that attach to the receiver or tubing of RIC and BTE hearing aids. They come in open, closed, and power dome styles to match your degree of hearing loss and ear canal size. Over time, domes wear out and should be replaced every one to three months for comfort and hygiene.
Dehumidifiers and Drying Kits
Moisture is one of the leading causes of hearing aid damage, especially in humid climates like Fort Lauderdale, FL. Drying systems remove moisture from hearing aids overnight to extend their lifespan and prevent corrosion and malfunction. Two common types are available:
- Passive drying kits (desiccant jars or cups) — affordable and simple
- Electronic drying systems (UV sanitizing driers) — more thorough and sanitizing
Earmold Tubing
Standard BTE hearing aids use plastic tubing to connect the body of the device to the earmold. Tubing hardens and discolors over time and should be replaced every six to twelve months to maintain a proper seal and prevent feedback or sound quality issues.
Assistive Listening Devices and Accessories
- TV streamers and Bluetooth adapters for wireless audio streaming
- Remote microphones and FM systems for noisy environments
- Amplified phones and captioned telephones
- Hearing aid clip-on retainers (to prevent loss)
