keithm Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Have any of you guys considered stocking and advertising a service for Hearing Aid batteries? I am now blessed with these to wear on a daily basis, much to the amusement of my friends as they continually go around telling eveyone that i now have Aids However, the small watch type batteries that power them have to be replaced every week x 2 I'm sure that you can make some money out of offering this type of battery, type ZA312 PR41 @1.4v The most common place to buy them seems to be Boots and Specsavers, who have recently started offering Hearing Aids as an additional line to their business. They appear to be around £4-£5 typically for a 6 pack. Advertised properly in your shops, this could be a nice little earner Maybe speak with your suppliers at the 'Cutting Edge' Exhibition at the weekend Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 NHS hearing aid batteries are free, so its a small market. I stock them but they aren't a big seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colledge stock these batteries and i can remember selling very few while i worked for them. Worth a poster in the window i suppose though.

keithm Posted September 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 The private sector are buying Hearing Aids by the masses, thats why Boots an Spec Savers have invested millions in the service. Therefore, one would expect the battery business to remain in in this sector as they purchased their aids from them. it might be worth re-appraising Lee and advertising, trust me, when you get used to having them and the batteries run out, you will pay whatever you need to to get them!

Forest Cobbler Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 We do stock hearing aid batteries, but the turnover has been so slow that they've gone out of date sometimes before we can sell them. Now only keeping one pack of each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
