What should be done when changing the battery of hearing aids?

Remove the aids and clean them
Leave the aids in place
Replace the batteries without removal
Charge them overnight

The correct answer is: Remove the aids and clean them

When changing the battery of hearing aids, removing the aids and cleaning them is a best practice. This approach allows for not only the safe and effective battery replacement but also provides an opportunity to clean the hearing aids. Accumulated moisture, wax, or debris can affect the performance of the devices, so cleaning them during battery changes helps to maintain their functionality and longevity. While it might be tempting to leave the aids in place or replace the batteries without removing them, doing so could risk damaging the device or leading to improper placement of the batteries. Charging them overnight typically pertains to rechargeable models, but not all hearing aids are rechargeable, making this option less viable as a general practice.
