I agree! One of my TWO pairs of Phonak Lumity Life rechargeables is already starting to slide down the scale in battery life. I charge it up faithfully every night - even wiggle the “bean” to make sure it’s seated proper in the induction charging base.
But now I’m starting to get low battery beeps after about 10 hours of use, and yesterday, I had to have my husband pause our TV show while I swapped in the OTHER pair of rechargeable Life aids. I’d only been wearing the near-dead pair for 12 or so hours? NOT ACCEPTABLE.
For the millionth time, I just want a viable choice! Not everyone who wears rechargeables (our only choice for most new aids coming out) has dexterity issues. Many of us actually have LONG days of 16 or more hours, and we like to travel, so we may need up to 24 hours of reliable battery in our aids. It can’t be done with rechargeables! And even if it was a full day’s worth, I’d get SIX times that with size 13 batteries in my Phonak Marvel aids.
I pine away for a battery Lumity Life … anyone out there at Phonak reading this or listening to us?
