Duracell DURHAZA10B8 Hearing Aid Battery Bitterant 1.45 V 10 Zinc Air 100 mAh

The Duracell DURHAZA10B8 is a size 10 hearing aid battery with a bitterant coating, zinc air chemistry, 100 mAh capacity, rated 1.45 V.

The bitterant coating is the specification that distinguishes this cell, and it addresses a serious hazard rather than a nuisance. Hearing aid batteries are small, shiny, and roughly the size and shape of a sweet, and they are handled daily by adults who frequently share a home with grandchildren or pets. A swallowed button cell is a medical emergency — it can cause severe internal injury quickly — and the object that makes it dangerous is exactly what makes it attractive to a small child.

The bitterant is a non-toxic coating with an intensely bitter taste. It does not make the battery safe, and it is not a substitute for keeping cells out of reach. What it does is make a child spit the battery out rather than swallow it, in the seconds where that decision is made.

For care facilities, households with children, and audiology practices dispensing to grandparents, this is the version to specify. The cost difference is negligible against what it exists to prevent.

Zinc air chemistry means the cell activates when the tab is pulled and air reaches the ports — a permanent change that cannot be undone by refitting the tab.

Size 10 is the smallest common format, used in in-canal and invisible-in-canal aids.

If a battery is swallowed, seek immediate medical attention.
