How does hearing loss change you?

@bobbyboomer I have heard many people are disappointed with the life of the rechargeable batteries. I like being able to put in new batteries so I am never without.
My cell phone (iPhone 7) is great, I stream right into my hearing aids. My son suggested I change the setting on cellular to WiFi calling and that helped even more. That is with Verizon, I don't know if that's available on other carriers.

Yes, I'm disappointed that the rechargeable batteries won't last 16 hours. If they could engineer a few more hours per charge, it would be great.
Still, it's better than 4 days on a disposable cell. The plastic and the cell itself are trash items, and I'm not sure if that little piece of cardboard I put in the recycle bin ever gets processed.
and nurseheadakes I am happy with the hearing aid technology, but I still have trouble conversing with people. With all the armed forces people coming back with hearing problems due to exposure to the sounds of explosives, you would think more money would be spent on research for a cure. If someone developed a way to repair damaged hearing, there would be a big market and plenty of profits. Of course, the Hearing Aid manufacturers wouldn't like that.
OK I'm being impatient and I know it because I have hearing loss and not heart disease or anything else that I know of.
I'll continue doing the best I can and hoping someone will come up with a better way to get me to be less isolated from other people.
