However, until recently, they were only\na footnote in hearing aid history. As hearing aids evolve, improvements include\nincreased battery life and smaller and more flexible form factors. It has been\nthree years since&nbsp;Phonak\nfirst introduced a hearing aid with an integrated lithium-ion rechargeable\nbattery,&nbsp;and now,\nall other major brands are following suit with their rechargeable models. Now\nthat the milestone of a full day of service-without-recharge can be guaranteed,\nthe hearing aid market is again on the brink of change. The question is, will\nintegrated systems or replaceable standard-sized rechargeable batteries define\nthe future?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What does\nthe hearing aid customer want?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to\nthe results from a survey by&nbsp;<a href=\"blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hearing Tracker<\/a>, the rechargeable technologies, that\nprovide longer battery life in smaller packages, are leading in consumer\npreference. Hearing Tracker survey of 510 hearing-aid-using-respondents\nrevealed that 70 percent indicated a preference for rechargeable hearing aids\nversus 24 percent who preferred primary batteries. The top two priorities for\nconsumers are rechargeable batteries and rechargeable hearing aids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Top\nConsiderations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When\nrespondents of the survey were asked to state the most important feature of a\nrechargeable hearing aid, 85 percent said they wanted a full-day of use.\nMeeting this demand was truly a game-changer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;Aud\u00e9o B-R&nbsp;hearing aids launched by Phonak\n(part of the new Belong series) features a built-in lithium-ion rechargeable\nbattery in a sealed compartment. This rechargeable hearing aid offers\ntwenty-four hours of use, with eighty minutes of streaming. Another new item on\nthe market is the Signia&nbsp;Cellion Primax. Although beaten to the punch by Phonak the Cellion promises\ntwenty-four hours of use with unlimited streaming. In addition, it offers\nwireless charging. The lithium-ion battery technology for both brands will last\nthroughout the hearing aid\u2019s entire lifecycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Integrated rechargeable batteries\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lithium-ion\ntechnology is the fastest growing and most promising battery technology.\nBecause the expected lifespan of lithium-ion is four years, it made sense to\nintegrate the battery into the housing of the hearing aid. This helped to\nincrease the durability and reduce the corrosion from battery contacts. It also\navoids making the hearing aid larger in order to accommodate the battery door.\nThe built-in battery not only frees customers from having to change batteries,\nbut it also allows the housing to be sealed, keeping the hearing aid free of\nmoisture and dust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no\ndoubt that consumers and hearing aid professionals are ready to adopt\nrechargeable battery solutions. Now that there is a choice, more hearing aid\nbrands are sure to follow with integrated lithium-ion technology. The question\nis, will consumers choose rechargeability over small size and direct streaming\nand other important features? It is unclear whether rechargeable hearing aids\nwill revolutionize the market, however, if the solutions live up to their\nbattery life promises, there are certainly more changes to come.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Joe Griffith, AuD, CCC-A, is a\ncertified audiologist and owner of Accessible Hearing Aids.
