Hearing Aid Batteries in Pakistan: Sizes, Types, Prices, and Tips
Your hearing aid is only as good as its battery. In Pakistan, finding the right battery and making it last is easy once you know the basics. Here is everything you need to know about hearing aid batteries — sizes, prices, and how to get the longest life out of each one.
The Four Standard Battery Sizes
| Size | Color Code | Typical Life | Common Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | Yellow | 3–5 days | Small / invisible CIC aids |
| 312 | Brown | 5–7 days | RIC and compact BTE aids |
| 13 | Orange | 7–10 days | Standard BTE aids |
| 675 | Blue | 10–14 days | High-power BTE aids |
What Type of Battery Do Hearing Aids Use?
Nearly all hearing aids use zinc-air batteries. They are powered by oxygen from the air, which is why they come sealed with a sticker tab. Once you remove the tab, the battery "activates" — wait about one minute before inserting it for full power.
How Much Do Hearing Aid Batteries Cost in Pakistan?
Prices in Pakistan typically range from Rs. 50 to Rs. 120 per battery, depending on size and brand. Buying in multi-packs (6 or 12) works out cheaper per battery. Over a year, battery costs for a standard BTE aid are roughly Rs. 2,000 to Rs. 4,000.
7 Tips to Make Batteries Last Longer
- Open the battery door every night — this cuts power completely.
- Keep batteries at room temperature, away from heat and sunlight.
- Remove batteries if the device won't be used for several days.
- Only remove the sticker tab when you are ready to use the battery.
- Don't carry loose batteries in your pocket with coins or keys (short-circuit risk).
- Let a fresh battery rest for one minute after removing the tab.
- Use a drying jar in humid months to protect both the battery and the device.
