Rechargeable hearing aids use a sealed, built-in battery—usually lithium-ion—that can be fully recharged every night. Using a hearing aid charger is incredibly simple: you just place the aids into the custom charging case when you go to sleep, similar to charging your mobile phone.

This provides a full day of power with no need to carry tiny disposable batteries or worry about recycling them. For those who want the fastest, most effective option, rechargeable technology offers peace of mind. Ask us about the latest Amplifon hearing aid charger options when you book your free appointment.

The main benefit is convenience and reliability. You no longer have to worry about running out of power halfway through the day.

• Effortless Charging: Drop your aids into the cradle overnight. They are ready to go by morning.
• Safety: No small, button-sized batteries to handle or store, which is particularly helpful if you have dexterity challenges.
• Consistency: Rechargeable batteries maintain a highly consistent power level throughout the day, providing optimal performance.

Disposable zinc-air hearing aid batteries are colour-coded and numbered universally, making it easy to identify the correct size. The most common sizes are 10 (Yellow), 312 (Brown), 13 (Orange), and 675 (Blue).

The hearing aid batteries 312 (brown) are one of the most frequently used sizes for smaller, discreet devices. Your Amplifon expert will confirm the correct colour and number for your specific device.

Battery life varies significantly based on the size of the battery, your hearing loss severity, and how often you use advanced features like Bluetooth streaming. On average, disposable zinc-air batteries (like the size 312) last between 3 to 10 days, while a rechargeable hearing aid will provide a full 24 hours of consistent power from a single overnight charge.

If you notice that your disposable hearing aid battery life is decreasing faster than usual, it may indicate a device issue, or it could simply be that you are using streaming features more frequently.

Yes, absolutely. Both hearing aid chargers and the hearing aids themselves are permitted for travel in both carry-on and checked luggage, though it is always recommended to keep high-value electronic items and their chargers in your carry-on luggage.

Rechargeable devices are particularly convenient for travel as you only need the small charger and cable, eliminating the hassle of packing a supply of tiny button battery sizes.
