Not at all! I used to be embarrassed to do so and take a bathroom break, but now I just do it when I need to. I'm glad I'm not embarrassed as ther is no need to be, And I agree with the other person who wrote that it creates awareness.

Like many etiquette things, do what is least disruptive. If you are engaged in chat with people and the conversation may be lost if you get up and leave the room to change batteries, then, of course, stay put, and just be graceful about changing the batteries right where you are. Don’t make a show of it, but you might, with a smile or gesture, let your company know you do not want to miss a word. 🙂 so you are changing batteries on the spot.
