Where should you store your batteries?
Hearing aid batteries are air-activated and should be stored in a fairly dry environment, for example, a dresser drawer or nightstand. Avoid storing batteries in humid or hot environments, such as bathrooms or the glovebox of your car. Never store them in a refrigerator or freezer.
Should you repair or replace your old hearing aids?
If the hearing aids are four years or older, it may be time to consider new units. Repairing your old instruments will restore their original function but never match the performance of technology available today. If you decide to purchase new instruments, I recommend that you have your old units repaired for use as back-ups in the event you lose or damage the new ones.
How effective are disposable hearing aids?
Disposable hearing aids are inferior products because they do not address the unique needs of your hearing impairment. They are produced with identical circuits, so everybody gets the same correction regardless of the degree of hearing loss. These aids are uncomfortable, will whistle and often fall out of your ear with any head or jaw movement. For these reasons, you should not purchase disposable hearing aids.
