@bobbiefriend I do it all the time, usually in my lap. I had to do it in church last week or else my good ear wouldn't be able to hear the priest. I wasn't embarrassed. Heck, half the people around me in the pews take their phones out at least once during church to check their texts! And I am not talking just the teens.

In church and looking at phones. Yikes God not happy
Batteries and on the lap have led to many a lost battery . Why I find a table or some shelf space – I am not good with batteries- weird- and because I do some care of critters I am making sure a battery does not get dropped to the floor for fear of dog or cat eating the battery.
Of course it's not bad manners. Do you clean your glasses in public? Let it show. It shows you care enough to want to hear.

Good grief!! No! I can do this without looking at my cochlear processors, so I continue looking at and talking to the person I am with while changing the processor battery. Many people break a smile, but never has one shown offense. The message is clear…I am interested in what they have to say and do what I need to in order to hear them.

bobbiefriend, I understand your hesitation to changing your hearing aid batteries in public, but I do it always. People clean their misty or spotted glasses in public, it's no different! I've even changed the batteries in front of my wee tutees, and then I get a chance to explain deafness, and how hearing aids work!
