Tired Of Replacing Your Hearing Aid Batteries?

Phonak has recently released a rechargeable hearing aid, the Audeo B-R. This new hearing aid technology can free you from the hassles of disposable batteries which are small and can be difficult to handle. The lithium-ion technology is fully integrated into the hearing aid so you simply place the whole hearing aid into the charger, no more opening and closing battery doors.

Rechargeable hearing aid solutions have been available in the past, but given users problems with short battery life and inconsistent power output. This new lithium-ion technology provides for both quicker charging and longer battery life than previous options, giving you 24 hours of consistent power with a three-hour charge.

Using a lithium-ion battery gives an additional benefit of reduced deterioration of the battery over time without affecting hearing aid performance. Removing the battery door from the hearing aid also improved its durability by reducing the chance of battery corrosion or battery door hinges breaking. Hearing care professionals have also benefited from having more time to counsel patients on topics not relating to battery changing and maintenance.

There a many options available for patients who have hearing problems, and the new Audeo B-R is a very exciting advancement that you should check out to see if it is the right solution for you.
