Salik Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 Hello everyone, As my title say where do anyone has remove before doing such activity or going for fast ride as i dont use hair clip or sticker. My rondo 2 came with 4 round magnet which is strong enough i guess. My previous audio device temp+/Opus1 had behind the ear hook which has sometime save from falling. Also do you recommend if i should try wearing rondo 2 in water sport with water proof cover and also in water slide activity or any ride in water park.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 21, 2020 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 @Salik I love using my Rondos in the water! But I take extra precautions to make sure they are safe. Here is what works great for me: Salik 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have to remove rondo 2 when I m goin on fast ride like roller coaster or water park slide. Will try to get clip or tether, but those can work with waterproof cover?

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 21, 2020 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 @Salik I use Rondo waterwear cover, EarGear Rondo cover with tether and clip (clipped to a shirt) and the Nammucap all at the same time. For rollercoasters I would take similar precautions. I would use waterwear and EarGear with tether and clip all day at the amusement park and put on the Nammucap for rides. That is just what makes me comfortable. I love my Rondos and would never want to risk them. Or bring along a small waterproof bag and remove them and insert them in the bag and secure the bag in a closed pocket for rides. I am extra careful with my processors. It makes me feel better.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted July 21, 2020 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 @Salik No, I don't imagine the tethers will work with waterwear. When I went Jet-skiing last year I wore waterwear and tied a scarf around my head to secure the processors (I wore my Sonnets, not Rondo, but I think you could so something similar). I was nervous as heck but it ended up working well. Salik 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tip😊. Last year in amusement park with my kids i had to remove my rondo2 and kept it my pocket but those without screaming and shouting roller coaster ride in silent was quite weird. I will try to wear bands or maybe cap to secure my rondo2 but still dont want to risk it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the idea 🙂 i had done jet skis many times too but without audio processor (opus1), had to use hand signal and be extra cautious from other jet skis. Will never take risk by wearing on water, i will try waterwear and wear band/scarf on my head to secure it. God forbid if it fell off its not going to be easy to find in water, btw does Rondo 2 float on water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 23, 2020 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 @Salik I have Rondo 1 and it sinks like a stone in water. Which is why I securely tether it to a water shirt. I do not know if Rondo 2 sinks. Possibly test it out by putting it in its waterwear, filling a sink with water and setting it on top. My guess is it may sink too. I agree amusement parks are much better when we hear the screaming! Wishing you the best in finding a way to keep your Rondo 2 safe at the amusement park.

I was actually really scared when we went jet-skiing, but then I realized that they're very stable and I probably wouldn't even get wet - and I didn't. So my main concern was the headband (it was actually a bandana). If it scares you and you can manage without your processor, that may be better for you.

Salik Posted September 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 dont want to create another thread about Rondo 2 battery life. Did anyone experienced battery life decreased since you got rondo 2, i noticed few days back as i usually wear rondo 2 by 9am in the morning and charge overnight at 12-1am but this time i was awake till 2:15am that when i hear the beep sound of battery. So my battery life has reduced to 17 hours? I remembered last time in travelling it was working over 18hrs but this time its only 17hrs. Btw m wearing Rondo 2 since March 2019 so its almost 1 n half year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted September 28, 2020 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 @Salik The battery life of Rondo 2 over time is something that several of us have been wondering about. I am curious too. Just like cell phone rechargeable batteries, I would expect the Rondo 2 rechargeable battery to age and gradually decrease in hours. Do you have the mini battery kit to attach to the Rondo 2 if you need more hours? I read that the internal battery can be replaced by Med-El but I’m not sure how that process works or the cost.

Does it has something to do with finetuner setting? Btw the internal battery need to be replace in 5 years, isnt that too long. i wish we can change the internal battery sooner and replace the more powerful battery same as Rondo 3.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted September 30, 2020 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 @Salik Battery life is very important to us. The up to 24 hours for Rondo 3 is encouraging. I saw this is the Rondo 2 manual... Salik 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
