☀️ Why Heat Affects Hearing Aid Batteries

Zinc-air batteries, the most common type used in hearing aids, are air-activated. That means the moment you remove the tab, they begin reacting with oxygen.

In hot climates like Maharashtra:

• Higher temperatures accelerate the chemical reaction
  
  

• Humidity can cause condensation inside the hearing aid
  
  

• Sweat and dust in areas like Aurangabad, Kolhapur, or Solapur may enter the battery compartment
  
  

• Improper storage can reduce shelf life by months

1. Store Batteries in a Cool, Dry Place (But Not in the Fridge)

Airtight containers kept in room temperature (below 25°C) work best.
Avoid the fridge — it causes condensation when removed.

2. Use a Dehumidifier for Hearing Aids

4. Wash Hands Before Handling Batteries

Oils, sweat, and dirt can corrode the battery or shorten its life.

5. Open Battery Door at Night

Allow air to circulate and reduce moisture buildup. This can also pause battery drain overnight.
