FAQs
What does 'Zinc Air' mean for my hearing aid battery?
Zinc air batteries use oxygen from the air to generate power. They are activated when the protective tab is removed, allowing air to enter and react with the zinc. This technology is known for its high energy density, providing long life for hearing aids.
Are these batteries rechargeable?
No, Rayovac Extra Advanced Zinc Air hearing aid batteries are single-use and not rechargeable. They must be replaced when depleted.
What is the significance of the yellow tab?
The yellow tab is a protective sticker that seals the air hole on the battery. Removing it allows air to enter, activating the battery. The color yellow specifically indicates the size 10AU battery.
How long do these batteries typically last?
Battery life varies depending on the hearing aid's power consumption, usage patterns (e.g., Bluetooth streaming), and ambient humidity. However, these batteries are designed for extended performance in modern hearing devices.
Are these batteries safe for all hearing aids?
These batteries are suitable for most modern hearing aids, especially those optimized for wireless and Bluetooth. Always double-check your hearing aid's manual for the recommended battery size (indicated by tab color and number) and type.
Where should I store unused hearing aid batteries?
Store unused batteries in their original packaging at room temperature (around 20°C or 68°F). Avoid storing them in humid environments or places with extreme temperature fluctuations, such as refrigerators or direct sunlight.
Can I use these batteries if my hearing aid is not a 'Made for iPhone' (MFI) model?
Yes. While optimized for MFI, Bluetooth, and wireless devices, these batteries provide reliable power for any hearing aid that uses the size 10AU battery. The advanced features simply ensure peak performance for compatible devices.
Troubleshooting
Hearing aid not working after inserting new battery.
Ensure the yellow tab has been removed and the battery has had at least one minute to activate. Check that the battery is correctly oriented within the hearing aid compartment. Try a different battery from the pack.
Battery life seems shorter than expected.
Verify that the correct battery size is being used for your hearing aid model. Ensure the battery was activated properly and not exposed to prolonged periods of humidity or extreme temperatures during storage. Check hearing aid settings, as high-volume or extensive wireless usage can consume power faster.
Hearing aid has intermittent sound or performance issues.
This can sometimes indicate a low battery. Replace with a fresh, properly activated battery. Also, ensure the hearing aid's sound outlet and microphone ports are clean and free of debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These 10AU size batteries are suitable for a wide range of hearing aids, including those with wireless, Bluetooth, and MFI capabilities. However, always confirm the battery size (indicated by the color tab and number, e.g., 10AU Yellow) recommended by your hearing aid manufacturer.
Care: Store unused batteries in their original packaging at room temperature, away from excessive heat or humidity. Do not attempt to recharge these batteries. Keep batteries away from small children as they can be a choking hazard. Do not expose batteries to fire.
