Power and output

Hearing aid average draw

Hearing aid average draw is the typical electrical power consumed by a hearing aid during normal operation.

How big is it?

1 mW of power

Average electrical draw · representative
Typical recorded range: 100 µW to 10 mW.

Scale illustration of Hearing aid average draw, calibrated to its average electrical draw measurement.
The marked average electrical draw represents 1 mW.

A little perspective

Single-mode laser pointer optical output is about 5 times larger on this measurement.

Single-mode laser pointer optical output: Single-mode laser pointer optical output is the continuous visible light power emitted by a standard handheld laser pointer operating in a single spatial mode.

Hearing aid average draw

A representative 1 mW average electrical draw for a hearing aid. Radio use, signal processing, output level, battery voltage and duty cycle can shift consumption across the stated range.

Defined examples — our methodology

The marked average electrical draw is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

Single-mode laser pointer optical output

A defined 5 mW visible laser pointer output. The 0.3 J comparison is power multiplied by 60 seconds; beam class, wavelength and actual output matter.

US FDA — Laser products and instruments

The marked rated continuous optical output is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

Why this measurement?

Why we use 1 mW

For comparison, this page uses average electrical draw. This is labelled representative; the central value is useful for comparison, while real values or measurement solutions can vary. The recorded range is 100 µW to 10 mW.
