I wear hearing aids. The place where I bought my hearing aids, “Accurate Hearing Center”, sells their own brand of batteries for $5 per 8 pack, but they told me I could probably buy batteries cheaper at W-M, so I checked it out.

The only brand W-M sells in my style are made by “Eveready” and are hyped on the packaging as being “environmentally friendly” and “green” at $6.79 per 8 pack.

The pharmacist gave me 3 sample 4 packs, so I did a comparision putting one in each aid, I did this 12 different times and the store brand always lasted 8-9 days while the Eveready lasted only 7 days at most.

Everyready sucks, but kodak batteries are worse, not a fan but Duracell seems to last the longest for me(esp. the "industrial" branded ones).

Anybody, have any other actual use reports of the kind we buy everyday?

I'm always looking for battery solutions.
