Letter Re: Advice on Storing and Recharging Hearing Aid Batteries
JWR,
Thank you so very much for what you do! Your blog is the best resource
on the net for preparedness info, news and views that I know of! My 8 year
old daughter wears hearing aids in both ears,. How long can I reasonably expect
hearing aid
batteries to store? In the event of TEOTWAWKI, I would be
heartbroken to see my little girl unable to utilize one of our most precious
senses. I imagine many elderly folks may have the same problem. What a very
dangerous predicament to be in, the world falling apart, and you can't even
detect someone speaking to you, or creeping up behind you...
Any info will be greatly appreciated, once again thanks! - Matt C.in Northern

JWR Replies: You probably missed the link in SurvivalBlog
a few months ago for a clever little
photovoltaic
button battery charger. Buy two or three of them. And of course buy a four
year supply of batteries, and store them in your refrigerator. Rotate your supply
religiously, using the FIFO method,
once established.
