Audiology – Needing New Batteries Anyone?<br />
You should find you were given a yellow record book when you got your<br />
hearing aid(s).If not, <strong>the</strong>n let us know, and we`ll make sure you receive<br />
one. This is where we keep a record of <strong>the</strong> type of batteries required, and<br />
numbers of <strong>the</strong>m issued.<br />
We try and keep battery exchange to a postal service only. New batteries<br />
should be requested when HALF of your supply is used. We don`t need<br />
<strong>the</strong> old ones back - <strong>the</strong>se can be recycled. For some types of hearing aid<br />
this will be one packet at a time per aid. Some hearing aids however use<br />
batteries a bit quicker and we might need to supply more at a time.<br />
Our address should be on <strong>the</strong> reverse cover of <strong>the</strong> yellow book. If you<br />
post <strong>the</strong> yellow book in to this address, we will check what type what<br />
type of batteries are required and post out a new supply.<br />
You will also find it tells you on <strong>the</strong> back of <strong>the</strong> yellow book what times<br />
our repair departments are open should you require this service.<br />
