More and more rechargeable hearing aids are coming onto the market. What are their advantages over battery-operated hearing aids? Find out in this short article!

Easy handling

Simply place your hearing aids in their charger at night, and they'll be ready to wear the next day. With battery-operated hearing aids, the small batteries need to be replaced more frequently, which can be more complicated for people with dexterity or vision problems.

Long-term cost

Although rechargeable hearing aids have a higher initial cost due to their technology, the long-term cost can be lower. This is because there's no need to buy batteries over time, making rechargeable options more economical over the life of the hearing aid.

Environmental impact

Did you know that around a hundred batteries a year can be used by people with battery-operated hearing aids? Opting for rechargeable technology helps minimize the number of batteries thrown away! 

Which ones to choose?

Rechargeable hearing aids have a battery life that can last for a normal day's use. For people with longer days, or who use the Bluetooth connection on several devices (tablet, TV, cell phone, etc.), hearing aids with standard batteries may be a better choice. Since these functions require a lot of energy, rechargeable hearing aids may not last all day in this case. 

In short, the choice between rechargeable and battery-operated hearing aids depends on many factors, such as individual preferences, lifestyle and specific needs. Talk it over with our hearing aid specialists, who can advise you on the best device for your needs!
