Have miniRITE R hearing aids. They use rechargeable batteries. Can I change these myself or do I have to have a professional change it for me? If I **** able to do it myself, then what is the part number for the correct battery?

No, you cannot change the rechargeable batteries yourself for Oticon miniRITE R hearing aids, as they use a built-in lithium-ion battery. The part number for the battery is not provided in the available information.
