@tarheel, I'm not certain but I do not believe your audiologist is giving you the right information. I say this only because I've seen the ads for Eargo, an in-the-ear, product that is rechargeable. However, I have not researched how long these can be worn before needing a recharge.

Hmmm...it would seem that in-the-ear aids provide more direct sound. When my hearing took a big downturn, the woman I see at Costco replaced the dome (in the ear) with a larger one that sent more sound directly into my ear...and it worked extremely well. Further, I only need to change batteries about once a week. There are many warnings over a period of two hours, so I'm never caught short. In addition, you can buy six packs of eight batteries (48 total) at Costco for $8.99--that's almost a year's supply!
