Suze01 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 If they're one of the small 'button' type batteries then you can get them from a jewellers or many of the brico stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daisymay Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Safest thing to do is to take a battery into one of the places like amplifon,audika, generation audition. Most town have a few of these establishments. There are a lot of variations in batteries which is why you need to take a sample. MOH pays €6 for a pack of 6.

sid Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 HiSeveral UK supppliers will send to France, or alternatively you could order from a French supplier... eghttp://www.centre-audition.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=2_14&products_id=40RegardsSid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sid Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I fell out of my cradle laughing at that one, but the old ones are the best, or so they say.My wife is still rather sensitive about her very sudden hearing loss, and I only now appreciate how difficult it is. Anyway the thread is about batteries, not poking fun. Sid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limousin Lass Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 My thanks to you all for your help and links. Having to wear 2 aids and the batteries only lasting about 2 weeks I tend to get through rather a lot of them so will check out for cheapest price.Thankfully I do have a sense of humour and jokes about deafness/poor hearing don't bother me now, the two things that do annoy me are, although I have the 2 aids, for some peoples voice tones I still rely on lip reading and many people don't actually talk face to face, they seem to be so busy looking around and I have to ask them to repeat what they have said or people think I am ignoring them when I am not, I just don't hear them or realise they are talking to me, and the TV companies who think we need loud background music at all times, even when presenters are talking.OK rant's over with. Thanks again for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
