NHS Hearing Aids Batteries – Options

Hearing aid care is essential for its longevity and proper functioning. Using and storing the appropriate type of hearing aid batteries is an important part in ensuring that your hearing aids will perform to its best capability.

Obtaining a hearing aid from the NHS is free of charge on a loan basis. In addition, the NHS in theory provides you with free batteries as well.

You should go back to the hearing centre you obtained your hearing aid from (Specsavers, Boots etc) to get your batteries, as you are allocated a regular supply by the NHS through that hearing centre. Should you have moved into the area or wishe to switch hearing centres, then you should go to the new hearing centre and ask to transfer to them for their hearing tests etc. This will allow them provide you with a regular supply of batteries.

We no longer have any supply of Free batteries for NHS hearing aids available at our Reception.

Batteries can also be purchased from outlets such as Boots, Specsavers or online, where you can purchase a large number of batteries at reasonable prices.
