  • May cost more than other types of hearing aids

How do rechargeable hearing aids work?

Rechargeable hearing aids work in much the same way as a standard hearing aid but instead of being powered by disposable batteries they feature an internal battery that can be recharged when needed. Users typically recharge their hearing aids overnight, allowing them to enjoy a full day of wear without needing to worry about running out of battery.
