Hello,
I have been using Starkey rechargeables for about 6 weeks. My audiologist says when I have them off, especially overnight, I should leave them charging or they will be losing charge as they don’t turn off. I would like to not have them charging all of the time, especially after they have charged. Is there any way to do this? I almost regret getting the rechargeables for this reason.
I was lucky in that my total cost was covered by a combo of my insurance plus Voc Rehab. I did have other hearing aides a few years back and they did not work well for me (don’t remember which type). I still could not hear the same sounds I struggled with. This audiologist also seems better at adjustments and after weeks of struggling, I think I finally got acclimated enough, combined with proper adjustments, to make a difference. Still testing that out as the adjustment is new. That said, I do want to make a good decision as I come to the end of my trial period. I know these are the most expensive model, and that seemed indicated given that I had already tried another type that did not work for me and that I use the hearing aides in many different types of settings, but am interested in what to consider in determining if these are a good match.
Thanks!
