Troubleshooting
Hearing aid not working after battery insertion
Ensure the colored tab has been fully removed and wait at least one minute for the battery to activate. Double-check that the battery is inserted correctly in the hearing aid compartment, noting the polarity (+/-). Try a fresh battery, as the current one may be depleted.
Short battery life
Confirm that the correct battery size (Size 10) is being used for your hearing aid. Check for any obstructions or earwax buildup in the hearing aid's sound outlet, as this can strain the device. Usage patterns and device settings can significantly impact battery life; consult your audiologist if issues persist.
Difficulty removing the colored tab
Grip the tab firmly and pull gently. If it feels stuck, try using a soft, dry cloth for better grip. Avoid pulling the wire excessively, as it could detach.
