I cannot yet comment on how good these batteries are as far as how long they will last, but hopefully longer than it took me to get the first one out of the package. I came on this site to see if there were any helpful instructions on getting the batteries out only to find review after review with the same complaint as mine. I understand the need for child-proof packaging, but these are ridiculous. I'm glad I didn't pay more for them because I will probably buy new hearing aids before I get done using 48 of these! Maybe instead of the picture with the scissors, you need a link to a video to show how to get the batteries out!

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!

I bought 3 packs of the Members Mark hearing aid batteries. When I was at a concert I needed to replace my batteries. The packaging is horrible. I found out that you have to use a pair of scissors to get the batteries out of the pack. I know it says "child resistant" but it is also people resistant. I am bringing back the other packages that have not been opened. I don't care if it is cheaper. I want to be able to quickly get out two batteries without the use of scissors!!! These packs are not like the regular brands that you can snap the bottom wedge out and then just turn the wheel to get the batteries. Bad marketing!!!

Do not buy this product if you have any hand issues! Not only is it childproof (which is great), but I don't have any hand issues and was cursing by the time I got the batteries out of the packaging! Seriously! Even when you cut through the packaging (which is required), it is a struggle to get the battery out! In your attempt to childproof this product, you have made it difficult for even the most physically capable adult to access! It is ridiculous! I just cut through all of the containers and put them all in a small plastic jar for easy access! That way, I only got frustrated in one sitting! LOL.

All I can say at this point is to reiterate what every one else has said! I've tried everything in my arsenal to open this Houdini safe! My thumbs hurt and I want to yell at someone and anxiety is at its max! When you know better DO BETTER! You know better because I've read the reviews. Guess I am going back to Duracell!

The batteries are almost impossible to get out of the wheel. Members Mark much make it easier to get the batteries out.Ever with my big sturdy scissors, I still have a hard time getting them out. I have arthritis in my hands and they hurt when I try to get them out.

It's a new law on packaging people so everyone else has same packaging. The batteries not as good a the bRand I normally buy at my hearing aid place . These last 3 days if turned off each night , not 5 lie better ones. They tend to go bad and leak %26 corrode up quite a bit also. U can do better Sam's Club!

extremely hard to get out of the package.

Too hard for even an adult to even open

Crappy, horrible packaging.
