problem with recharging hearing aid

Posted by smallisland @smallisland, Jun 24 10:12am

I put my rechargeable hearing aid in recharger over night. In morning it was as dead as a door nail. I cleaned it and the ports on the charger and tried again. It stayed dead for several days. I even changed outlet . Then all of a sudden , after several days, it was charged. Has anyone had this problem? Any suggestions as to why or how to handle it when it happens. Thanks

Actually I first had one hearing aid that wasn't working properly and they replaced the insides (cheaper than figuring out what was wrong no doubt). That was free because under warranty. I had to pay for the new charger - outside of warranty.
I have to wonder about OTC hearing aids. The fitting?

Since my hearing loss is not extensive and the cost of the around-the-ear kind is way out of hand, I spent $149 on the OTC kind and I am quite happy with them. I can hear better and hardly know they are there. If you have more serious hearing loss, I would suggest seeing an audiologist, but for simple "what did you say" hearing loss, I would try the OTC first.
