How do I get Hearing Aid Batteries during Covid-19 lock-down?![]()
The Team at Hearing Help Essex are on hand to provide information, advice, and guidance during this difficult time.
Our phone line will continue to be manned Monday-Friday from 9am – 3pm (sometimes later), and whilst not open we have a voicemail facility so please leave a message and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
Our text message, live chat, email, and social media channels will all be monitored daily, and we encourage you to use these wherever possible.
One of the most common questions we have received this week is ‘How can I get hearing aid batteries during the lock-down’?
The answer to this question varies depending on which hospital issued your hearing aid, and which area you live in.
We would advise all NHS Hearing Aid patients to contact their Audiology department in the first instance as they may be able to post some batteries to you, OR if you are in the position to do so, please do consider purchasing a supply online as this will enable the NHS Audiology departments to focus their resources on those who do not have internet access or resources to purchase themselves.
If you do decide to order online, PLEASE check what size battery your Hearing Aid needs as there are several different sizes of battery.
If you obtained your hearing aids privately, please contact the Audiologist who issued your hearing aids to you.
We estimate that over 300,000 hearing aid users live in the County of Essex so we are doing all we can not just to support you during this difficult time, but also to try and relieve the number of calls and requests our Audiology Teams are taking.
If you have any questions, or need contact details for your Audiology department please do not hesitate to contact us.
