I searched and understand there have been discussions re issues with charging KS10s. I didn’t find a “solution” or recommended next steps so, in the hope of generating them (for posterity), this post…
I bought KS10s Nov 2021.
Lately, on more than one occasion I find the right KS10 goes quiet (for lack of charge) suddenly after the customary harsh beep. This happens after the aids were left (as usual) in the KS charger overnight. I then have to reinsert it back in, twiddle it around until the light starts blinking, and then wait some hours for it to be charged. This can be problematic when I’m away from my charger.
What could explain this?
Should I preemptively meet my Costco hearing specialist and have the charger or aid replaced/repaired?
Further: I do NOT turn off my hearing aids when I place them in the charger overnight. Could this be contributing to the problem? Would it be better to turn OFF the hearing aids before inserting them into the charger for overnight charging?
Leaving the aids ON overnight in the charger proved to be a mistake when power went out for several days following local storms. The aids were dead in the morning (having depleted their charge overnight staying on. Perhaps that’s a hint I should be turning OFF the aids before inserting them in the charger. Could I be wrong?
