Many of Dr. Paul Milner's clients are opting for rechargeable hearing aids now. Instead of carrying spare batteries around, they simply put their hearing aids in a charger every evening and they will be fully charged for the next day. But there are still plenty of people wearing hearing aids where the batteries have to be replaced. You can purchase the batteries you need by either stopping by Hearing Care Center during office hours or the batteries can be mailed to you (with an additional charge for postage).

Hearing aid batteries come in 4 sizes and can be identified by their label color:
10 - yellow
13 - orange
312 - brown
675 - blue

Hearing aid batteries can easily be confused with pills, so extra caution is needed to keep them separate. Swallowing a button battery can cause severe damage in the upper digestive tract (the esophagus and stomach), and even death. Immediate emergency medical attention is required because serious injury can occur within two hours of ingesting a battery. But if you ever do mistakenly swallow a battery, a 2018 study found that eating 2 teaspoons (10ml) of honey every 10 minutes will significantly minimize the corrosive impact on bodily tissues until the battery is extracted.

Among the many credentials and certificates on the wall of Hearing Care Center, you may have noticed that Dr. Paul Milner is a member of The Society in Dedham for Apprehending Horse Thieves.

This social organization numbers over 10,000 members, including heads of state, Supreme Court justices, governors, popes, professors, generals, and other notables, plus a local audiologist.
