What batteries are used in rechargeable hearing aids?

Rechargeable hearing aid battery shape is mostly button type. The battery material of it can be divided into nickel-hydrogen rechargeable batteries, silver-zinc rechargeable batteries, and lithium-ion (Li-ion) rechargeable batteries three categories which are built-in batteries and almost non-removable. The first hearing aid with a built-in lithium-ion rechargeable battery was launched in 2016. In the context of the improvement of lithium-ion battery technology and energy density, Li-ion battery has become the first choice in almost all consumer electronics with many advantages. Since steel-cased button batteries can more perfectly fit the space size and structure of the rechargeable hearing aid charging compartment, they are now the battery of choice for rechargeable hearing aid batteries. So what are the advantages of using steel-cased button batteries for rechargeable hearing aids?
