Phonak TV link

[browne2012]

Hello there I have recently started wearing Naida S III UP from Phonak. I have there TV link which includes the TV link basestation and iCom combined. I had to get the microphone disabled to enjoy the TV better - with the hearing aids I was picking up alot of other noises. Just wondering about the duration of the TV link - well the iCom, after it’s charged for 2 hours - I only get about 4 hours use from it before I have to recharge it again - is the normal?

Hz.250…500…1K…1.5K…2K…3K…4K…6K…8K
L…110…90…105…90…75…75…70…55…80
R…50…70…70…60…40…25…25…15…35
Bone…50…70…35…10

Notes:
Left Ear – profound rising to moderately severe mixed loss
Right Ear – severe rising to mild predominately sensorineural loss

Yeah, the time the iCom will hold a charge is only about 4-6 hours of continual use.

Browne2012,
You can go to the Home Depot (if you live in the U.S.) and buy a TEK4 RP4900 portable power source and a TEK4 battery and charger, together they will cost about $30 and you can plug it into your Icom and it will power it up to 80 hours on one charge. If you can’t get one you can buy a phone charger with the right jack (I think it’s the one for Motorola or BlackVBerry phones) and plug that into your Icom while you are using it and it won’t go dead on you. Good luck!
