After using a variety of domestic and foreign-made products, I happened to buy a pack of Rayovac batteries. I have been sold on Rayovac ever since. They outlast other batteries and are totally reliable, so much so that I can predict to the day and part of the day when I will need to replace them. And, both batteries in a set more often than not die within an hour or so of each other.
I have these batteries sent to me automatically every six months which is very convenient. The life of the batteries are best when exposed to air for one minute before putting in my hearing aids. I've used these batteries for the four years that I have had my hearing aids and am very satisfied.
What can I say? They're great and long lasting - 5 days in my wee tiny hearing aids. What's really wonderful though is the customer service and how quickly they expedite the shipments. Great company!
I rarely partake in surveys, but I must share that on countless occasions I have purchased hearing aid batteries, only to have them "die" within hours, or even minutes of use. Not only is this frustrating for a variety of reasons, I find it inhumane. I cannot hear without them. Fed up with drugstores, I went straight to Ray O Vac's website and ordered in quantity, relieved they shipped, and as always I have high quality, long lasting sound when in use. I would use none other.
Rayovac's Size 10 Hearing Aid Batteries have been re-designed and now are far more reliable than they used to be; however "Longest Lasting" they are not; the current batch of Size 10 Hearing Aid batteries last about one week, the same as earlier Rayovac batteries. I continue to purchase and use Rayovac batteries because they have become quite reliable, and no longer occasionally fail prematurely as the older version did.
These batteries work fine. I wish they were even longer lasting, but they seem as good or better than any others I have tried. You really do need to give them some time in the air to wake them up, otherwise they sometimes do not work from the start. I find blowing on them works well and with that routine, I have had no "duds".
