A \u201cdeep discharge\u201d of the lithium ion battery can shorten its overall lifespan.<\/p>\n<p>3. The same goes for your charger. If it has an on-board battery, avoid letting it go completely dead.<\/p>\n<p>4. Use the charger cable and wall plug that was<em>\u00a0originally provided by the hearing aid manufacturer<\/em>. Many of these hearing aid chargers have a voltage regulator in the plug. Using a different cable or wall plug can cause problems later.<\/p>\n<p>5. Plug the charger plug directly into a wall outlet, not an extension cord or a USB port.<\/p>\n<p>6. Lithium ion batteries in hearing aids last about 3 years on average before needing to be replaced. If your hearing aids aren&#8217;t lasting more than 6 hours on a single charge, then call our office to schedule a troubleshooting appointment.<\/p>\n<p>Need a new cable or wall plug from your hearing aid manufacturer?
