Rayovac Hearing Aid Battery Size 312 24pk - Brown

The new child proof packaging is very difficult to get into. For my older hands, cutting plastic is difficult plus makes it impossible when I need to change batteries in public.

If you don’t have scissors handy, you’re out of luck getting a battery out of that package. Whoever designed that packaged, should be locked in a room with it with no scissors!

Opened my first pack of 312's from the VA. The Child Resistant packaging is also Senior proof, took 10 minutes to get two out. I'm going to recommend to the VA not to source this manufacturer

I struggle to open the package. In fact I threw most of a 24 pack away. I will not buy this product again.

I have used Rayovac batteries for my hearing aids for 20 years. They are dependable and reliable. But my latest order came with your new childproof packing. Total crap. There is no way to open the batteries without a major struggle. The plastic is tough and VERY difficult to cut thru. The spacing between batteries has melted points that are almost impossible to cut thru. Unless you have some tips or pointers or A NEW SYSTEM, I'll switch to a new brand. You ought to give the packaging engineer who designed this one a demotion. WORST PACKAGING SYSTEM EVER!

I just bought my last Rayovac hearing aid batteries. Even with my freshly sharpened Fiskars scissors I can barely cut the plastic sealing the batteries! For crying out loud, we're seniors - having our grandkids around is a rare occurrence compared to how often I have to replace batteries. No more Rayovac hearing aid batteries until the packaging changes, which probably means forever since I won't be buying any to see if the packaging changed.

Did anyone at your company actually TRY to open this package design before you decided to use it? I have used Rayovac batteries exclusively. When I opened the new pack of batteries today I thought the wrong ones were shipped because the package was different. I tried to compare them to the old ones and I couldn't get the package open! I had scissors on my desk to cut the packaging as instructed, but they couldn't cut through that hard plastic. I ended up using the tips of the scissors to peel back part of the backing until I could get a battery out...then had to do that again for a second one. More than 5 minutes to retrieve 2 batteries and the plastic is now bent and mangled and sharp. I appreciate the purpose is to make the packaging childproof, but they're adult proof too--I wished I had my garden shears to cut through that plastic! 58 more batteries in my pack of 60, but then I may have to switch to another brand. The batteries may not be as good, but at least I won't have to carry shears around with me to get them open. Epic Fail Rayovac!

When I finally got access to a battery, two came out. I need to buy more batteries in order to have a pack for my purse and I could have used one last night when both my hearing aids went out.

The new packaging is impossible to open. You need scissors to cut it open. I always keep an extra package in my purse in case batteries go dead while I'm away from home. Do I know have to keep a pair of scissors in my purse. Also they started making the tabs shorter. Very hard to handle and replace. These are terrible. The old packaging made so much more sense.

Target online order process great. 1 star for new packaging!! The plastic you have to cut thru to get the batteries is very hard. Accident waiting to happen when scissors keep slipping off the plastic while cutting!!

Contrary to what the ads say, these child proof cases are VERY difficult to open. I’m a fit 80 year old and began using Rayovac batteries on the recommendation of my audiologist. I do like the batteries. They last longer than other batteries but I’ve hurt myself several times trying to get in the packaging. I had to resort to scissors that cut steel to get them open. I get the need to child proof them but if consumers can’t access the product, what good are they. I’m sorry to leave Rayovac, but I feel I have no other choice. Buyer beware.

The batteries are great, that is if you can get to them before you die. Impossible to open even with scissors.

Bought new pack of 312 hearing aid batteries. It is impossible to open. Child proof-yes, but also adult proof. Try again. I will seek out another vendor with easy to open package.

The battery packaging definitely requires scissors to open. Who carries scissors in purse or pocket strong enough to cut the plastic dispenser? Did you consider arthritic hands when designing these terribly difficult to open hard plastic dispensers? The batteries are safe from children, but having scissors nearby is not child safe. This packaging is the worst idea ever for seniors who experience hand pain and hand muscle weakness. Please, the product is OK but the packaging apparently wasn't tested on your main users - Seniors!!!

I don't consider myself stupid but, after trying to open my package of batteries, I'm beginning to wonder. My scissors will not cut thru the plastic. What am I doing wrong?

This is the worst packageing I have ever come across. Sometimes my hands don’t work. Really who the heck invented this. You have no instructions on them. I still don’t how to get in it.

I bought online a dozen packages of the "child resistant " style and they are very hard to access because a typical scissors can't cut the plastic. Terrible design. So aggravated me that I won't buy any Rayovac brand any more.

99% of Seniors cannot open this package ,2 in this house couldn't...We have arthritis, stiff fingers cannot use the sissors to cut open this new package. There has to be another way to package for real seniors

This childproof packaging has got to go! I neefed new batteries "on the go" and I tried to open the package, and COULDN'T! Come on....we need scissors now? I don't have scissors in my purse. The women at the checkout also couldn't open them with scissors. Please, in consideration of the elderly population, give us the CHOICE. My hands don't work well anymore. Bring back the twist package which was wonderful. the new package is a BAD DECISION.

Sorry, but you new packaging is VERY difficult for seniors to open.
