Where to buy hearing aid batteries?

Post by caller »

Specifically size A312.

Lazada have twice let me down with wrong batteries being delivered and now I am running short - 2 in my ears and 3 spare.

The clinic on soi51 doesn't sell them, nor does Bkk hospital.

I tried calling Dennis Gldbach, but the number I have no longer exists - is he still in business?

Does anyone have a definitive answer about where to buy in Hua Hin?

Thanks for any help.

If worse comes to worse Amazon USA has them. See below link and note those marked "ships to Thailand" You'll pay close to 60% more than the listed price when you add in expedited shipping and customs duty.

Hi Pete. If push comes to shove, I will drive to Bkk and back. I know a clinic on sukhumvit at Phra Khanong that sells them.

Have you tried any of the IT kiosks in MV?

Like the watch battery guy on basement underneath Tesco near the doors.

Surely he'll know where to get them if he doesn't sock them....

Okay, problem solved for me. I am having some delivered on Monday from Bkk.

But it's still a question worth asking for future reference.

Thanks. By coincidence, I am in MV. Not somewhere I am a frequent visitor to. I will have a mooch around.

For urgent use while waiting for 312 to arrive mail order I think it might be possible to use lr41 or sr41 button cells. Size and voltage are nominally the same though charge capacity is lower so not as long lasting. I think lr41 are widely available. Not recommended but may be better than nothing for a day or two.

I've got a whole raft of # 13 batteries for aids that no longer work for me. Anyone who needs some PM me and tell me how many packages you need and will see what I can do. No charge for batteries or shipping either. Better they are used than rot in drawer.
