HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted December 3, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 @Jdashiell We sure do need a lot of techie stuff now don’t we?! Smile. At night, I also place each Sonnet in its own dry kit (after removing the rechargeable batteries). I have both dry kits plugged in. I rotate through 6 standard rechargeable batteries between my two Sonnets and use 4 of those 6 batteries each day. So at night I have those 4 standard rechargeable batteries to charge and they fit in one Sonnet rechargeable battery charger. The 2 fully charged batteries remain in the rechargeable battery wallet and will be used the following morning. This way all 6 batteries get equal use. So I have one of my two Sonnet rechargeable battery chargers plugged in and the other one in my travel case. That is my nightly routine. Every 2 months I change the Sonnet mic covers. If I wait for 3 months, I notice a decline in sound quality- especially for soft high frequency sounds. I use an Artone 3 MAX BlueTooth neckloop so that gets charged nightly too. I also use the fabulous BOSE QC35 BlueTooth headphones so that gets charged as well. We do need a lot of outlets! Smile. Someone mentioned a fabulous three drawer organizer from the Container Store and I keep all of my spare parts in there. It is a wonderful way to keep things organized and safe. You must be getting excited to find out your surgery date. Cara Mia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted December 3, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 This is the container unit I have and it is wonderful. Another CI user suggested it. https://www.containerstore.com/s/storage/storage-drawers/3-case-storage-chest/12d?productId=10022603 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Cara Mia Posted December 3, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 In addition I wipe external parts of my CIs and the dryer all around with alcohol. I do it a coupe times per week. And of course, the mold is cleaned with water and soap dayly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted December 3, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 @Cara Mia Do you clean the battery contacts that way too? If so, how often do you do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 @Mary Beth @Jdashiell I change the microphone covers, and clean the battery contacts with alcohol, every other month. Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Cara Mia Posted December 3, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Yes, I clean the battery contact. But I do it rather occasionally than regularly. Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
