Hearing Aid Performance as Battery Runs Down
I’ve been told that digital hearing aids do not perform at full capacity (using throw away batteries) toward the end of battery life. Now back when I wore Starkey analog HA’s that didn’t seem to be a problem, since my Starkey aids seem to function fi...

How Hearing Aids Behave as the Batteries Age
I am a new hearing aid user. I am trialing two different digital aids and they both behave similarly and both use #10 batteries. My wife is enjoying the hearing aids as much as me because the word, ‘What?’ doesn’t come out of my mouth quite as often. Here’s the thing, though....

Battery life expected

Battery life
...ine has a different hearing aid not from Costco and he gets at least 7 days out of a set which is great. He then schedules every Sunday to change his batteries so he doesn’t get caught with them going dead. Is the 31/2 days normal and is there a better battery for longer life.

We Are Being Force Away from Disposal Batteries

Is it unusual for one hearing aid battery to have a lot less power left than the other?
I’ve had my first ppair of HA’s for about a month. I bought a pair of Oticon OPN 2. It’s my understanding that battery life can differ, but only slightly. According to iPhone accesibility graph and the bar graph on the ON app, my left one is anywhere from 40 to 60% less than the battery in the ri...
