Thank you, Eloise. Mine don't have batteries. My previous Phonak took size 13 batteries, too. These Resounds go into a charger to stay charged. There is a wee cone attached to a thin wire that is also attached to the hearing aid. I find them a bit difficult to insert so far, but I presume I'll get used to it.

AH...I know what you mean. Now that I have new rechargeable hearing aids, I don't have to use batteries anymore either. The domes on the hearing aids are small, I agree. They are challenging to connect to the neck of the hearing aids especially when they are extra small like I have for my left ear (it is smaller than my right ear). I have to wiggle it to make it snap into place in order for it to get into place so that it doesn't drop off. Nibble fingers helps which I know not everyone has. Taking a deep breathe, having a good light source so that you can see what you are working on will make sure you can see what you are doing (morning time) and being patient always helps. After a while it will be easier.

@nurseheadake Eloise, your Resounds don't have the little wire that goes into your ear, correct? Is the unit that fits behind your ear pretty small? My last hearing aids, Phonaks were behind the ear, no wire, and were quite large. too large. I got thim several years ago I'm just still having a problem with the wire and the the little cone insert in my new Resounds. I'm wondering how the newer Phonaks are in comparison to the Resounds quality-wise.
