I put them in my hearing aids.They came sooner then I expected them to. Which was good because husbands hearing aid batteries were almost gone.These are a premium battery and I've been using them for almost three years now in a pair of Bernafon hearing aids. They last about six days which is a pretty good average. I was warned by my audiologist that working in a noisy environment would cause the batteries to wear faster, and since I spend time in noisy places I find that's true.Because I always wanted the best available batteries, I always wondered what the differences in the different types of the Ray-O-Vac sub-brands such as Proline, Loud'n Clear, and Maximun. They are all THE EXACT SAME BATTERY and the sub-brand names just indicate how they are sold:ProLine: these are distributed to audiologists and hearing aid specialistsLoud'n Clear: are sold to pharmacies and chain storesMaximum: are sold to pharmacies and chain storesExtra Advanced: are sold to battery sellers world-wideOther than the name, these batteries are all precisely the same.The most convenient thing about these is that they come in small re-sealable dispenser cards holding eight batteries and I can always carry a card in my shirt pocket without worrying about losing any while carrying them around.I purchased these batteries without any knowledge of their real longevity. I tried batteries recommended by the hearing aid supplier and they only lasted 3 or 4 days. I then went on line with Amazon and researched the many batteries available. I decided to try Rayovac. I got one full week out of them. Thinking this may be to short a time, I called my Hearing Dr.and she said that is the best she has ever heard from those using my type of aid. I do try to rotate the batteries from ear to ear each morning and I usually get 7 days almost to the hour. Try these and rotate them from ear to ear if you have two aids as I do.After several months it looks like Royovac is reacting to the lousy economy and cutting corners. The batteries I reviewed above have suddenly lost their juice. I now only get 4 to 5 days per battery. Also, I now buy the same battery at my local drug store for a couple dollars less than I get them at Amazon. Check out your drug outlet and see what the prices are.Can’t beat the price.Hearing aid batteries are a necessity for the devices to work. These are available quickly at a great price and they last as long as any of the batteries on the market. Well done!Good quality, great priceGood quality batteries, no hassel. Delivered on time and in good condition.Some of the longest lasting I have come across - a bit more than a week for me. I have nad issues with some no-name or private label batteries, but every one of these worked perfectly (even if I didn't let the battery 'breathe' for a minute after removing the tab before closing up the hearing aid. Great value for the moneydid not read the full description, my bad, will look closer next time5 starsConsistently don't last 5 days. I would not repeat this experience.I like it , for the longer time it takes, but no way will I pay , the amount ask by the vender. Thank you.
