ZPower,Camarillo, Calif, will feature its built-in, rechargeable battery technology at AudiologyNOW! 2017, April 5–7 in Indianapolis, Ind, ZPower announced. AudiologyNOW! is a trade show hosted by the American Academy of Audiology (AAA) that provides participants the opportunity to attend four days of educational sessions, explore the latest in hearing technology, and network with colleagues from around the world. ZPower will exhibit in booth #1147. This year, ZPower has partnered with multiple hearing aid manufacturers to bring more rechargeable hearing aid options to market, and ultimately, to patients. According to the company, many hearing aid wearers struggle with the hassle of disposable batteries; the batteries often fail at the most inopportune times and need to be replaced every few days, according to the company. Therefore, it is no surprise that rechargeable batteries and rechargeable hearing aids are among the top features sought by hearing aid users. ZPower’s silver-zinc rechargeable batteries are designed to offer hearing aid wearers the confidence of all-day power—with streaming—and the flexibility to interchange ZPower batteries with zinc-air disposable batteries. Additionally, ZPower batteries are reportedly safe, non-flammable, and 100% recyclable. Several new silver-zinc rechargeable hearing aids from multiple manufacturers will be displayed in ZPower’s booth #1147. Also, ZPower will be leading a number of educational sessions during the convention, including the following: Thursday, April 6 11:30–12:30 p.m. – Exhibitor Course Rechargeable Batteries—Haven’t We Held Onto the Disposable Power Solution Long Enough?
