I always purchased hearing aid batteries at Sams and was pleased. Not anymore!! This packaging is way too difficult to open!!! Each plexi- plastic round needs to be sliced and cut in order to have batteries drop out. Ridiculous! There's no spin to revolve each battery to its open hole and then to fall out. How could the older people do this? Please bring back former design of rotating battery to an open spot to remove!

Batteries are fine if you can open the package! I travel a bit and rarely have full size scissors needed to open the package. It is rare that my hearing aid batteries fail when I’m at home with access to tools needed to open. It’s probably best to use tin snips or wire cutters as I have a couple pair of scissors (Walmart also) that aren’t strong enough to even cut the plastic. I understand the childproofing but I’m speculating that most hearing aid users aren’t around young children that are of the age prone to stick things in their mouth. I think it is time to rethink the concept of selling these as they are. I’m never buying again and if I were closer to a Sam’s, I’d return. They’re horrible!

First of all, 1 out of 4 are dead or half dead. My hearing aids constantly go dead after an hour of replacing the batteries. The packaging is horrible. The only way is to drill out the seal on each battery, its to difficult to cut each one separately.

The batteries are great!!!! The PACKAGING is the absolute worst to access and down right dangerous to adults. Sam's Club and MembersMark should NEVER use their name or brand on this product until it becomes user friendly. For reference, I'm a third generation hearing instrument specialist and the industry can do a better job.

I hate that you have to have a scissors to cut each battery out. Very inconvenient.

These batteries are VERY difficult to get out of the package or I have not found the secret means.

These are for my 83 yr old mother and are impossible to open! Requires scissors and the plastic is very hard to cut.

Extremely difficult to get out of the package! The batteries are fine, but the packaging is near impossible!

Packaging is very difficult to use. You must have scissors to extract the batteries and even with scissors it is difficult.

Took forever to open the package. It's almost impossible for the elderly and arthritic hands to open.
