The battery
Battery type
The recommended battery type for your AIKIA
hearing aid is:
Zinc Air battery type 13
To obtain replacement batteries, please consult
your hearing care professional. Please note the ex-
piration date and the recommendations regarding
disposal of used batteries on the battery pack. To
ensure proper battery function, do not use batter-
ies past the expiration date. Because they are Zinc
Air type batteries, they need air to work. There-
fore, do not remove the adhesive tab until just be-
fore inserting the battery in the hearing aid. Once
the tab has been removed, the battery will start
functioning after a few seconds. The battery life
will depend on a number of factors, such as the
setting of your hearing aid, how many hours you
use it daily and the listening environments in which
you use it.
Inserting the battery
Before inserting a new battery in
your hearing aid, remember to re-
move the adhesive tab. Do not use
batteries on which there is a sticky
residue from the tab or other un-
wanted substance.
