2.3.1 Note on the battery A zinc air battery is used to supply the power for your hearing aids. This type of battery is only activated when oxygen comes through the air holes into the button cell and the chemical reaction is started. During production, the air holes are sealed with a protective strip. This means that the battery remains fresh until use, and it lasts longer when it is sealed. Removing the protective strip allows oxygen to enter and the chemical reaction is activated.
