Hi, I'd love some input. Yesterday my right HA was down to 7% charge after about fifteen hours of use. I called Phonak and they said a charge typically lasts ten to twelve hours. Is this charge length typical? Most people are awake much longer than that.

Also, I'm not noticing substantiative improvement in my hearing with the HAs. The other day I accidentally left them out for a couple hours and didn't even notice. The one thing I thought I'd hear post-HA, our cat's "silent meow," is still silent. I found my audiogram shocking since I'd only noticed a couple small things but the audiologist said she checked each point multiple times plus the symmetry also supported it being real. I'm only persevering to preserve my brain's ability to utilize HAs in the future. It makes me wonder, though, if I can hear without them, which means I'm utilizing that part of the brain, am I at risk of losing any capacity at this point?
