Hidden Hearing Publishes Guide to Installing Hearing Aid

Hidden Hearing has responded to an increase in enquires about how to install hearing aid batteries by publishing a guide to the batteries it sells in its online hearing aid accessories shop.
Hidden Hearing explains:
  •     Hands should be washed before and after installing a new battery as oil on the skin can hamper a battery achieving proper function. The positive side of the battery should match the positive side of the hearing aid.


  •     Once the battery is installed, increase and decrease the volume control to listen to amplified sounds and see if the battery is working properly. You could also check a battery’s power by using a battery checker, also available in the hearing aid accessories shop and on a handy portable key ring.


  •     Hearing aid batteries come in a range of sizes for different types of hearing aids. A blue #675 is for powerful behind-the-ear devices, orange #13 for smaller behind-the-ear devices, brown #312 for in the ear canal devices and yellow #10 for completely in the canal devices.

Hidden Hearing's own batteries are recommended by the leading manufacturers for use by all hearing aid users.
