My hearing aid suddenly stopped working. What to do?

I’m sad to see those that don’t like rechargeable. I have rechargeable and I’ve been happy with them. I haven’t really had any more issues with them then I did when I had ones with batteries. So I hope that those who do not have them would at least consider them. But it really is an individual choice. I like the fact that I don’t need to worry about having batteries. I also get the replacing the batteries but I have had mine for 2 years and so far have not had to replace them. My audiologist will have me come in before my warranty is up to have them replaced without charge but I don’t even know I would need to do it at that point. But that should give me hopefully at least 3 more years out of them if not more to replace them. By that point I’d be ready for new aids anyway. But again if you are contemplating them just do the research it isn’t for everyone.

It's good to hear the positive experiences with rechargeables so thanks @mickey5909 for your input. Our readers need to have both the pros and cons in order to make a good buying decision. To recap, I mentioned that I prefer batteries over rechargeable. Batteries end up in the landfill so rechargeable makes sense. Another positive for rechargeable is that some of these batteries CAN be replaced by an audiologist. I only recently found this out. This would be another question to ask before you decide which way to go. I may switch if I know my audi can replace the rechargeable battery. Again, we would want to know that cost, if it's not covered under a warranty, before we decide.
