Thanks pvc for your receiver tip. cheers
If your back up hearing aids are OPN mini rite, the receivers are the same as the More. So you can switch to see if it is a bad receiver.
OK they are may give that a try. Have my old OPNs in now and are really not too bad, not a whole lot of difference. Just not able to stream sound.
Thanks Mago.l cheers,
You can stream with the OPNs - just forget the Mores and pair the OPNs.
It’s a pain, but so is not being able to stream. I just went thru similar recently and had to wear my OPNs.
yes i just did not want to bother, thought i may have to cancel out the mores and replace with OPN. i have had my OPNs in for a day now and very surprised how they are still good and a huge help. Have to get used to the batteries again. From reading this forum now and then there has been much much discussion re battery v. rechargeable and of course i was skeptical as i was use to the batteries. To sum it up it is nice to just place them on the charger at night and take them off in the morning. Going on 3 yrs. so far so good. if i was camping a lot in the wilderness it would still be good to have battery pros and cons and i think this site sure helps a lot of people Thanks Mago

I just had one of my Resound One’s go dead. I got out my jeweler’s magnifying loop and sure enough, my wire going into the receiver was broken inside of the insulation. A new receiver fixed it. And dang that was difficult changing that sucker. But works as new again
@dregerlb: Hello - I emphasized some words in the quote so I could share this anecdote. Occasionally (neither often nor rarely) I’ve changed a wax cup, only to have my wife tell me, a couple of days later to “check your hearing aids”. Begrudgingly, I do - and lo, and behold, a “fresh” wax cup is blocked.
I’d check those filters again, if you haven’t, already.

So glad it worked out for you, i beleive now that in my case it is also a receiver issue, the audi did a change of receivers once and they make it look so easy, but not easy when we do it … lol cheeers.

I had changed out the filters and domes but thanks for the tip as you never know as it could be something so simple as that. returning home to canada and have arranged for an appointment. great help available on this site. cheers.
very good point as what i understand from my audi and doctor is that some people produce more wax then others therefore the filter plugging which is a real detriment to hearing capability. I am one that produce above average wax, my doctor clears it thouroughly twice a year plus in between I use a drop of oil in ear at night now and then. eliminates the problem for me. Hope this helps.
@dregerlb: I wish you a safe journey back home, and good performance from your hearing engines, along the way.
Thanks Spudgunner always nice to hit north and hope there is no storm in the Dakotas.

A diagnostic tool I have used for well over 40 years is: If the hearing aid is dead, is there any noise turning it on or off or changing programs? If the battery or charge is good, then probably a receiver issue. If you can rub the case of the hearing aid and hear the rubbing sound but nothing else, then it is a plugged microphone issue. Unless it is a component failure, a dead instrument is almost always an input or output issue.
Excellent i have tried each and still no response. I will file this also for future use great tips. i made an appt. with my Audi for march 30th. Managing with my old battery OPNS to get me by. Thanks

Returned home and had appt. with Audi. He tested the left hearing aid and it was totally dead no response.He sent it into the Lab to get repaired. Do not know if there will be a charge for this…
If your aids are less than 3 years old, it should be repaired or replaced at no cost, assuming it wasn’t broken in an obvious way by your own doing. I am also assuming that the warranty is the same as the US.
One of my aids has been replaced twice now in just over a year. Hope you find better luck with the new or repaired one.
Just gentle reminder that what happens to be true about your warranty doesn’t necessarily apply across all suppliers, in all jurisdictions.
Locally (here), most suppliers offer a two year warranty but that doesn’t necessarily apply to consumables like rechargeable batteries, chargers and receivers. However some aids carry a five year warranty. Your negotiated deal might be entirely different than the next customer.
Thanks Jcw and Bongo for your input. Gives me an idea of what to expect.
Cheers.

Are Rechargeable batteries considered Consumables?
Many users on this forum are under the impression they’re covered by warranty, and should be replaced before the expiry date.
