Very poor packaging

I just purchased a 24 pack of #312 Hearing Aid Batteries. While I really like the batteries, the new packaging they come in is the poorest design I have ever experienced. Whoever designed this packaging should be fired! You need scissors to open the package! How many people carry around a pair of scissors to open their battery packaging? What about people with disabilities? How are they going to get the packaging open? It's not only child proof, it's also adult proof. This is the worst of the worst. Surely you can do better than this.
Efforts to CHILDPROOF is effective, however accessing the batteries is very difficult for users even using sissors! I wind up using a screwdriver to open the package. I carry spare batteries with me at all times however I cannot carry sissors with me especially when going through TSA checkpoints. Design a user-friendly accessable package,
As a long time user of your hearing aid batteries I must inform you it is time we part ways. The majority of people that use this product are seniors and you have literally senior proofed your packaging. Use scissors...I get it. Even with scissors, it's still a burden that I don't have to endure with other batteries that perform just as good as yours, at the same price point.
My husband and I are senior citizens, we received your batteries when we bought our hearing aids. We have not been able to use our hearing aids until we bought different batteries, because of the extreme difficulty they are to get out of the package.we are very, very disappointed,because they are good batteries just to difficult to open. We feel it was money wasted on a fixed income.
New packaging you have to have a pair of scissors with you at all time. I use 6 to 7 batteries a week I have to replace every 3 to 4 days. Your packaging engineered are a joke. I asked 3 adults to try to open they could not without losing a finger and using an box cutter. I bought 198 batteries so they would last 6 months or so I am going to trash your batteries and purchase another brand that I can carry a package in my pocket and change batteries when they go dead in the doctors, dentist. restaurant, or visiting friends home and I have borrow a pair of scissors from the doctor, dentist etc.
The new six pack with a number 312CR-6LNCUS is very hard to open. I used to carry the old package in my pocket and could change the battery anywhere. With the new package I have to use tin snips to cut the package. I also bought small battery container to carry spares. Kitchen scissors and the scissors on my knife were not strong enough to open the package.
Worst package ever. I am 84 and used 312 battery for about 20 years. New six packs are impossible to open. Show state they are senior proof instead of child proof.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Terrible ... VA has provided these ... will buy my own from now on. Am I expected to travel with scissors? NOT ALLOWED by TSA.
