Different sizes of hearing aid batteries
Hearing aid batteries are smaller batteries tailored and designed for hearing aids. They have special model numbers and colours to guide you in choosing a hearing aid battery, and each model has a different physical size. Here you can see the sizes of each hearing aid battery:
- Model 10 - Width: 5.8 mm height 3.6 mm
It is the smallest size of hearing aid battery and has lower storage capacity. The size makes it ideal for smaller hearing aids. - Model 312 - Width: 7.9 mm height 3.6 mm
This model is thinner than model 13 and has a shorter overall lifetime. - Model 13 - Width: 7.9 mm height 5.4 mm
This model is the most common for hearing aids used in the ear, it has a smaller storage capacity than the 675. - Model 675 Width: 11.6 mm height 5.4 mm
This is the largest size of hearing aid batteries and it is primarily used for behind-the-ear hearing aids.
Things to consider with hearing aid batteries
Are you new to hearing aids and perhaps buying hearing aid batteries for the first time? Here are a few handy tips for beginners:
- Don't unpack your hearing aid batteries straight away, leave them in their original packaging for as long as possible.
- Wait to peel off the small sticker on the battery until it is to be used, when the hearing aid battery makes contact with the air it will activate.
- Take your used hearing aid batteries to the recycling centre.
How long do hearing aid batteries last?
There is a relatively wide variation in the lifetime of hearing aid batteries, ranging from 7 to 14 days, and there are several factors that affect the actual lifetime. Do you suffer from a severe hearing loss or use a more modern hearing aid? If so, chances are it will affect the life of your hearing aid battery - a digital hearing aid with several advanced features shortens the hearing aid battery down to 3 days. Common factors that affect hearing aid batteries are:
- Hearing aids with more powerful sound amplification.
- Modern hearing aids with several special features.
- Wireless accessories and if you stream audio from your TV or mobile phone.
- Noisy environments tend to affect hearing aid battery life.

How often should I change the hearing aid batteries in my hearing aid?
Hearing aid batteries generally have a very variable lifespan depending on your hearing aid, if it is more modern with technological features it tends to negatively affect your hearing aid battery. We usually recommend our customers to buy an extra pack and keep at home in case the hearing aid battery runs out faster.
