When you’re diagnosed with hearing loss, fitting some hearing aids is likely to be the most effective response to it. Your audiologist will help you pick out hearing aids from a wide range, specifically suited to all kinds of needs. Most hearing aids are powered by batteries, which you will have to change when they run out. However, more and more hearing aid manufactures are creating rechargeable hearing aids with no need for batteries at all.
You may have used devices that run on rechargeable batteries, that can be taken out of the device and charged. That is not what rechargeable hearing aids are. Instead, rechargeable hearing aids have built-in batteries that you do not have to remove on a regular basis. You don’t use a battery charger to supply them with power, but rather you dock the hearing aids directly into a charging unit. Then, the charging unit is plugged into your wall, much like how charging a smartphone would work.
This is different from simply doing to your local store and buying rechargeable hearing aid batteries. First of all, finding rechargeable button batteries that are of the right size to fit your hearing aids may be difficult. Even if you find the right batteries, you also then need to find the right charging station that the batteries can fit into. As such, it’s often recommended you look for a rechargeable hearing aid, instead of rechargeable batteries. Simply tell your audiologist what you’re looking for and they can help you scan the market to find it.
There are a wide variety of advantages of using rechargeable hearing aids. Here are just a few worth considering:
The above advantages do come with some drawbacks, of course. A charging unit will add to the cost, though the eventual cost of buying the equivalent amount of batteries often outweighs the rise in price. Otherwise, you have to get used to depending on a charging unit and you also cannot take out the batteries so, if a problem occurs with the device and you think the batteries might be the cause, you should instead enlist the help of your audiologist.
When choosing hearing aids, it’s best to do it with the help of an audiologist, who can help you find the best hearing aids to suit your needs. As such, if you can find a hearing aid that has all the features that you require and is also rechargeable, then you go for it if it’s in your budget. However, it may not be worth sacrificing other important features, such as a directional microphone or Bluetooth capabilities, for a rechargeable hearing aid if you can’t fit them all in your budget.
