摘要

研究背景本研究旨在评估威尔士三种一次性助听器电池品牌的性能。使用助听器的听障人士依赖于助听器的功能，而这往往取决于一次性电池的质量和寿命。材料与方法：灰色文献综述介绍了电池标准。通过实验室测试对电池的 "实际 "使用情况进行补充。与性能质量相关的参数被用来量化每个制造商生产的五块 PR44 电池和四块 PR48 电池的整体使用寿命。结果文献综述表明，助听器电池消耗研究存在很大差距。所有品牌电池的性能均低于其规格，但符合 IEC 标准。结论：对电池消耗测试条件的修订应反映新的技术特点，并完善对实际使用的预期。有可能从统计学角度确定性能最佳的助听器电池品牌。

Zinc–Air Hearing Aid Batteries: An Analysis of Functional Performance

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of three disposable hearing aid battery brands available in Wales. Hearing-impaired individuals who utilise hearing aids rely on the functionality of their devices, which is often contingent upon the quality and longevity of disposable batteries. Materials and Methods: A grey literature review foregrounded the battery standards. The “real-life” use of batteries was supplemented through laboratory testing. Parameters relating to performance quality were used to quantify an overall service life of five PR44- and four PR48-size batteries per manufacturer. Results: The literature review signalled a large gap in hearing aid battery consumption research. All battery brands underperformed compared to their specifications but met IEC standards. Conclusions: Revisions to battery consumption test conditions should reflect new technological features and refine expectations of real-life use. It was possible to statistically identify the best performing hearing aid battery brand.
