HLAA Statement of HAT
• “Hearing Assistive Technology, or HAT as it is commonly referred to, is technology that can help in various listening situations.
• Often, a hearing aid or an implant is not enough in certain situations. In such cases, there are technologies that are designed to help people with hearing loss. These are designed to enhance telephone communication, TV reception, ensure an effective smoke alarm, or listening in various kinds of public venues. Your hearing professional should evaluate your need for one or more of these devices and direct you to the appropriate vender.”

5 Minute Rule for Zinc-Air Batteries
• To activate a hearing aid battery, users need to remove sticker on battery to allow oxygen to mix with zinc-oxide inside battery
• Ethan Manuell, an 8th grade hearing aid user, tested batteries to see if waiting after pulling tab off before inserting made a difference – 5 minutes wait after pulling off
sticker, battery will last 2-3 days longer
