OK, I've been wondering, do batteries last longer if you let them sit and "breathe" for a few minutes after you peel off the sticker before putting them in the HA? I have tried that occasionally but cannot tell if it makes much difference.

Itecato, the answer is yes. I've read that some manufacturers say to wait one minute after removing the tab. However, a student determined that if you wait five minutes, you'll get a longer life. I didn't verify but you can read about it hear: https://kfor.com/2015/06/10/boys-science-fair-project-expected-to-save-hearing-aid-users-70-a-year/
