Time for a change

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.

Absolutely the worst batteries to open
on April 12, 2025

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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

the most stupid packaging I have every seened

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.
Piece of junk

New child proof package is terrible.

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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Cannot open new style

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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

DANGEROUS Packaging
on March 30, 2025

My husband recently purchased the 312 batteries and commented he could no longer open the packaging. While he was searching YouTube for opening instructions, I went after the plastic with tools. The “open with scissors” comment on the package definitely overestimates its simplicity. First I tried to pry it open with a screwdriver. That was a tough one and a slip would have meant a nice gouge in my palm. Secondly, I opted for the scissors but the thick plastic probably ruined them. With a lot of strength, I cut it into pie-shaped pieces and released the batteries by separating at the sharp points, another dangerous step. The batteries flew out several times but I finally put them all into plastic bags to be carried in my husband’s pockets or easily accessed by children. What an ordeal! We just spent a lovely evening focusing on those darn chil-resistant packages. We can’t wait to finish these so we can buy from a different manufacturer that tests their products on the target consumer group.

PACKAGING

I have liked these batteries in the past. Usually last a good week, but now due to new packaging, just like all small batteries, I find these unbelievable difficult to open. I challenge you to come up with packaging that meets the law but does not require scissors and brute strength to open and use your product. You would certainly get my business and a lot of other hearing aid wearers who have chose not to use rechargeable hearing aids so we are not limited in our use of them.
