5 Minute Rule

Who would have thought that an 8th grader could teach this old dog a new trick? Hearing aid batteries are so expensive and Deaf and Hard of Hearing students go through them so quickly. For many, it is absolutely necessary to wear them every waking moment, and the costs add up. What if there was a simple way to make each battery extend its life by two to three days? There is!

Once parents or students take the sticker off of the back of the hearing aid, they normally slip it right into the hearing aid. By simply waiting for 5 minutes before putting it in, you have increased the normal life of the battery from two to seven days (depending on the model) to four to ten days. Imagine how much could be saved in a year.
