Oh, I wholeheartedly agree with this! Earlier this year, I went from replaceable battery hearing aids to rechargeable Rexton BiCore's. I did and still do have my reservations, though. I've worked in electronics all my life, and one thing about rechargeable batteries is certain. They will never hold a charge for the same length of time as they did when new. Their ability to hold a charge slowly diminishes over time. Since most manufacturers make both replaceable and rechargeable hearing aids, it would be an amazing feature to be able to easily replace a rechargeable battery when its charge life has diminished. I hope every manufacturer has people who watch your videos, Emily. 👍
Absolutely, something definitely needed! AndI also have the issue of my right ear being much weaker, resulting in an imbalance in wearable time-had problems with this just today, in fact. Thanks for the video!
I agree Emily! I don't use Bluetooth as much as I would like to with my Hearing Aid's because I don't want to lose battery life earlier in the day. Wouldn't it be amazing to be able to swap out our rechargeable batteries!
Yes, I agree with all of your points. In fact, earlier this week, I had to wait 3 or so hours to be able to use my right hearing aid because it didn’t charge that night, so I couldn’t hear well out of one ear, and I couldn’t stream audio from my phone. So I definitely agree that swappable batteries would probably be really useful!
@@DefiniteHearing it really is inconvenient. Which is why I think swappable batteries for hearing aids could be helpful. Thankfully I was at home with my charger, so it wasn’t too inconvenient, but it definitely wasn’t fun either way.
Agree whole heartedly. The one thing that puts me off getting hearing aids with rechargeable batteries is being stuck away from home without Working hearing aids because either they didn’t charge properly the night before or the battery life is starting to decrease. I totally understand why people get rechargeable hearing aids as you dont need to always have batteries on your person in case they die, plus if you ever use Bluetooth with hearing aids that use disposable batteries it eats through your battery life like a hungry rat. However, rechargeable hearing aids with batteries that can be replaced with mitigate those issues.
I suspected that was what you were going to say when I saw the title. A second, directional microphone and a setting to toggle it on and off would be nice too. The only problem I see with swappable batteries is that you would sacrifice water or dirt proofing. For now I think I'll stick to a disposable battery hearing aid where I can keep a spare battery taped to my wallet.
I have been saying the same. I have been trying out rechargable hearing aids since april, and they don’t last long enough for me, before I need to recharge. So I’m going back to batteries, and I’m hoping they start to make swappable batteries when I need new hearing aids next time
I’ve always was thinking the same thing regarding having rechargable batteries that can also be changed if needed, especially being if there is a long term power outage and have no electricity for a week, even if you’d have a portable charger, it can only last a day or 2 before needing to be plugged in
I know the older Oticon hearing aids have a swappable batteries inside their rechargeable hearing aids but only excess able by the audiologist. Luckily I have a premium charger with my Phonak Audeo Lumity L70 RL Life where the charger has a built-in battery so I can charge my hearing aid on the go for 15 full charges (Note: I only have 1 hearing aid).
I have been wearing my ha for 46 years. I have a severe hearing loss in both ears. My right ear is worst. My left ear is getting close to my right ear loss range. I have a Phonak Paradise 70 recharage for 2 years now. I wish these ha has like CI where we can switch batteries from the bottom where you pull out and put in for our ha charger and grab another batteries like CI put in. It will be a lot easy for us if we run out our charge during the day. It shouldnt be that hard to design for our ha. They did it for CI and they should make one for ha too. People will run out since we are using bluetooth a lot. I wear my ha 12 to 16 hrs a day. I will get near 30% close bedtime. It time for our ha battery charger to change.

I hope manufactures watch my videos too!!
Oh, I have thought this so many times! 100% agree. Thank you for addressing this.
I hope the manufacturers listen!! 👀

I struggle with the imbalance in wearable time, too!

Yes it would be 👏

I’m so sorry you were without!! It’s inconvenient! 😑

I COMPLETELY AGREE
May the hearing aid companies make it happen 🙏
Excellent suggestion! The battery life in rechargeable hearing aids is my main complaint about them, otherwise I love my rechargeables.
Same!!

Yes I think it’d be the best of both worlds.

Your current system is a good one!

@Phonak says something big is coming… it’d better be swappable batteries 👀

Yes! It is good to be prepared! Swappable batteries would help!

Interesting. May the normal people get access to the rechargeable batteries!!

I agree! CIs have the tech. Why can’t hearing aids??
I was just listening to my song till this popped up on my phone screen💀
Haha it’s a goodie!
O volume de uma conversa normal doi muito meu ouvido, um aparelho pode ajudar a tolerar mais esses sons ???
Consult with an audiologist. They will assess your situation and hopefully be able to help.
I'm not sure what hearing aid is better because they both have their ups and downs
Yes they do. Which is why we need a hybrid 😃
