Battery life in hearing aids.

I've never used then except for Walkers Game Ears (less than 400.00 a piece), which eats up batteries like crazy.

With good hearing aids, how long should the batteries last?

Do you wear them to bed?

1. almost 1 wk and no

I have in the canal ones, with size 10 batteries that last almost a week, wearing aids about 12-14 hours a day. I tried wearing them to bed once and it hurt my ear to lay on my side. My father has full ear aids and his batteries last a month. Costco has decent priced batteries, if you live anywhere near one.

2. Just under a week

I was told by the audiologist not to wear the hearing aids in bed.

Second the motion for Costco for good prices on batteries.

3. I was buying the regular silver-colored batteries

and these would last about a week. I decided to give the gold on the back batteries a try..and yes, these cost just a little more...and these last me 2 to 2 &1/2 weeks! Made by Duracell. Found'em at Walgreen's.

4. My batteries are actually Energizer Silver

and they usually last 2 weeks to 3 weeks.

I like 'em.

I buy 'em from a watch company called Bowles here in Colorado. I can get a package of 12 for $60.
