Duracell Hearing Aid Batteries Size 312, Brown, 16 Count (Pack of 1), Long-lasting Power, Extra-long EasyTab Install

The batteries last a long time. The only thing I don't like is the fact you have to cut or rip the packaging to get into the batteries. I wish the batteries were on a spinner.

Good battery life compared to other battery brands, price reasonable, right size, they were "fresh" in that they were not even close to expired and the sticky tabs make the batteries easier to install in my hearing aids. Child proof packaging is still way too hard to open- albeit a smidgen easier than most of the other brands I've tried. Of all the products packaged in child proof packaging, hearing aid batteries are the most difficult to open- hands down- you CANNOT open without scissors and tremendous prying effort- and once you've cut the package up to get at the batteries, you inevitably expose more batteries than you need to use or twisting the plastic makes some pop out and fall on floor and get lost- both mean children can now access packaging, defeating purpose of making it difficult to open. A better solution for this kind of battery- which is the type most likely to be swallowed by a child or pet-- hence the regulations mandating child proof packaging-- would be to pre-package them in a container with prescription bottle style child proof cap. Everyone seems to be forgetting that the people trying to open these are often seniors with weaker grip and finger strength. Even using scissors, trying to pry open the stiff thick plastic is ridiculously hard.

I have purchased most brands available, looking for easy-open hearing aid battery packs. Those days are gone. I suppose this is for the greater good and is a new regulation put in place to protect children from swallowing batteries, so I will accept it and move on with my life.I purchased this 2-pack of Duracell hearing aid batteries in size 312. The packs have 8 batteries each, so in total, that's 16 batteries.These fit my hearing aids perfectly and are a good value for the price.As previously stated, you will need scissors to open the individual packs. When you cut the pack open, it reveals a clear plastic covering over the batteries, which is easy to peel away, revealing the battery. This is a nice compromise to the old way, and I will be happy to deal with it. It makes it a little easier to have batteries on the go.

Add my name to the List of Negative Reviews!!!OK, so I have been wearing hearing aids for over 50 years. Yes 50 years--not a typo--I lost over 50% of my hearing in a car accident when I was only 16! So I am no stranger to hearing aids or hearing aid batteries.Previously, I bought hearing aid batteries in whatever store I happened to be in when I realized I was going to be needing them. However, after the last two purchases of another name brand with the ridiculous circular wheel of "bank vault plastic" that needs to be cut with scissors (make that more like a chain saw), I vowed never to purchase that brand again.So onto Amazon and "Oh Joy" they have the "old style" in the little snap open plastic cases. WRONG!!! The picture this seller is showing is not what you get. You get the dreaded "bank vault" plastic cases that must be cut with scissors. Unfortunately for me, I had no other batteries at home so I kept these and tried to pry them open as best as possible.Now for the best surprise! They are "Duracell" -- the premium brand -- but so far 5 of the 16 batteries either do not work at all or die is less than 2-5 minutes after insertion. The one I am wearing now seems to be holding but I am not holding my breath for how long it will last.Two Points to take away from this review -- the seller has not updated his listing to show new packaging and the batteries he does send out in the "new" packaging are either defective or out-of-date. I don't know the expiration date of these since the first battery I used was just fine and I took the dreaded circular trays off the main card for easier storage.This seller needs to update his listing and refund/replace all the users he has deceived. Will it happen?? Judging from all the other negative reviews, a snowball has a better chance of not melting in hell than you or I do of getting any kind of refund/replacement from the seller.

GOOD PRODUCT

The batteries work well. Getting the batteries out of the package is no easy task though. We need scissors to cut them out. Aggravating.

I like this brand b/c I can easily get the batteries out of the package. Another brand, which I have used in the past, I would have to cut the hard plastic in several places to release the batteries. I realize batteries must be packaged to they don't touch each other but this other brand was awful to get the batteries out of the package. This brand is quite easy

The package has changed over the years and is very nearly impossible to open…. Need heavy duty scissors to cut and then pry open IF you’re lucky. Being 68 and having arthritis in my hands it’s VERY DIFFICULT to open. They truly need to bring back the old packaging and if you feel you need to have child proof or iron man proof packaging then at least you have a choice. Batteries work fine.
