Why You Shouldn’t Throw
Zinc-Air Batteries Away
The zinc-air batteries found in most
hearing aids use air as an energy source
and come in a variety of different sizes.
Be mindful when disposing of these, as
well as other hearing aid batteries, as
zinc-air batteries contain zinc, which should
never be tossed in with household waste.

For iOS devices, search for
“Voicebud” in the App Store
on your phone or tablet.
For Android devices, search for
“VoiceBud” in the Play Store on
your phone or tablet.
Why You Should Recycle Instead
A far better option is to recycle your
batteries. Most municipalities have drop-off
centers with recycling drop-off boxes for
used batteries. Most electronics stores offer
battery recycling. The batteries will then be
processed and the toxic metals removed
and sold for re-use in various industries.
