Use your hearing aids
STEP 1: Insert hearing aid batteries
Your hearing aid is powered by a battery. Find your battery size
by looking at the color code on the packaging, yellow (10).
To insert or replace the battery:
1. Using the finger pick, gently open the battery door.
2. Remove the old battery.
3. Remove the colored tab from the new battery. Wait 3–5 minutes.
4. Insert the battery into the battery door, ensuring the "+" on the
flat side of the battery is even with the "+" on the battery door.
5. Close the battery door.

open it too far.
• If the battery door won't close securely, check that you've
inserted the battery correctly.

recycling container.
• Batteries vary. Ask your hearing care professional any
questions you may have on battery life, or the right battery
size and type for your hearing aids.
