Considerations for Rechargeable Hearing Aids
- If you select a rechargeable hearing aid with a lithium ion unit you will not be able to intermittently switch to standard pill batteries.
- For those who frequently travel or worry about access to outlets/electricity there are still options! Many manufacturers make travel charging units or power storage units. You can also use any USB compatible charging unit (which can be purchased at most electronic retailers or online).
