I've finally wised up and decided to get my hearing-aid batteries from a less expensive source than my local pharmacy. There are a lot of battery sites on the web, but the best I've found for hearing aids so far is Microbattery.com. In addition to a huge choice of small batteries for all kinds of devices ranging from wrist watches to digital cameras to electronic dog collars, the site offers a comprehensive selection of hearing-aid batteries from all the top vendors. It promises to be the lowest-price supplier, and it offers comparative data if you are inclined to shop on performance as well as price, with a great rating chart based on surveys of users of the life of different hearing-aid brands and sizes when used by real customers wearing different models of hearing aids. I've decided to stick with my Duracell 13's, partly because in an earlier life Duracell was a client of mine, but also because I like their plastic cases. I can't get the four-pack holder which I prefer at my local CVS Pharmacy, so the fact it's available online is a bonus. Plus you can't beat the price. Whereas CVS sells two eight packs for $14.59, or 91 cents per battery, Microbattery.com sells a lone four pack for $2.96 (74 cents per battery) and a carton of 10 four packs for $24.95 (62 cents per battery).
