@julieo4 This year I made the change to rechargeables so I have not yet experienced the problem of them getting older.

There are pros and cons to both. I live in New Hampshire where major snowstorms can knock out power for more than a day and this occurred to me recently, what would I do if we lost power for two or three days? I guess I would have to dig out my old HAs and rely on them.

I am very ambivalent. I was really on the fence on whether to go with rechargeables or not and decided to go with them rather than being on the phone and suddenly having a HA die, which seemed to happen too frequently. Honestly though, I am not sure that I would make the same decision now.

I need to get back to my audiologist. Initially she used my old molds with the new aids but then she took the impressions and I got new power molds. Thes have changed the aids and I think I need her to reprogram them.
