How long do the batteries last on a full charge?
A fully charged lithium-ion battery typically provides up to 24 hours of usage, depending on your hearing aid model and whether you’re streaming audio. Some models may last slightly less if used heavily with Bluetooth streaming. Oticon recommends placing your hearing aids in their charger overnight to ensure consistent, reliable performance throughout the day.
When should I get the batteries replaced?
The internal battery is designed to last around 2 years before its capacity starts to degrade. Over time, like all rechargeable batteries, it may hold less charge. If you notice that your hearing aids no longer last a full day or take longer to charge, it could be time to contact your hearing specialist for a professional evaluation or replacement service.
Can I replace the rechargeable battery in my hearing aid myself?
Yes, Oticon rechargeable batteries are designed to be user-replaceable. However, it is important to follow the correct procedures carefully to ensure proper functionality and to avoid damage to the device. Oticon’s hearing aids that use lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, such as miniRITE R and miniBTE R models, allow for the replacement of the battery without sending the device back to the manufacturer. When the time comes to replace the battery, it is essential to use an official Oticon replacement battery to maintain safety, performance, and warranty coverage. If you prefer to replace the battery yourself, it is strongly advised to follow Oticon’s step-by-step guidelines or video instructions closely, using the correct tools and a clean, static-free workspace.
What battery size do Oticon hearing aids use if they aren’t rechargeable?
For non-rechargeable (disposable) models, Oticon hearing aids typically use one of the following standard sizes:
- Size 10: For very small in-the-ear models
- Size 312: Common in miniRITE and small BTE models
- Size 13: Used in larger behind-the-ear designs
Check your hearing aid manual or consult your provider to confirm the correct battery size for your device. If you want to know more about Oticon, you can read more here.
