Hearing Aid Technology

A new generation of rechargeable battery technologies promises to make life easier for hearing aid consumers in 2017. When two new rechargeable hearing aid models and an innovative new retrofit rechargeable battery system hit the market in late 2016, consumers finally got a choice of options as easy and convenient to charge as your cell phone.

The recent product innovations have changed the picture completely. Now, rechargeable hearing aids feature:

• A full day of use: The new products provide around 24 hours of use time.
• Familiar form factors: They provide daylong power in the same familiar hearing aid form factor.
• Less hassle: Many users complain about having to constantly replace the small disposable batteries in their hearing aids. The rechargeable batteries never need to be replaced—the just inserts the hearing aids into an easy-to-use recharging unit at night.
