HearPeers Heroes Megan L. Posted January 26, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 @Mary Beth I use both!! When I was in office for work I would use the disposable batteries because they lasted a lot longer and I didn’t have to time when to change them. I also use disposables when I have a long day away from home like to my audiologist appointments. Now, I’ve been using the rechargeable batteries because I’m home and it doesn’t matter when the batteries die 🤣 Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted January 26, 2021 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 @Megan L. I think I set this poll up so people who use both can select both options. Let me know if that doesn’t work. AnnetteT and Megan L. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Megan L. Posted January 26, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 @Mary Beth It worked! 😁 Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy C Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 I use both disposables and the rechargeables. If I am going to be at home all day I will use rechargeables. If it is going to be a busy day I will use the disposables or my Rondo 2. I know Rondo 2 is not part of this poll but that is really my preference over sonnet 2 due to battery management.

Dani Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 19 hours ago, Megan L. said: I use both!! I use both, too. But I PREFER using rechargeables When I had my surgery for my second implant I switched to disposable. Because they last for at least 2 days and I didn't know if the rechargeables will run out of power immediatelly after waking up from surgery. Btw. is there a way in this forum to view the members who already have voted? On other famous forums this is possible. Megan L. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted January 27, 2021 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 @Dani The ability to view the members who participated in the poll is a setting that is or is not selected when any member creates a poll. On these new polls about batteries, I chose to have the poll not display names. Dani 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared Charney Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Does anyone know how to pair the Sonnet 2 with the AudioKey app? I see the AudioLink but for some reason it can't find the Sonnet 2 . . . thanks all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted March 23, 2021 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Are you using AudioKey 2? @Jared Charney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted March 23, 2021 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 @Jared Charney Can you have your device forget the Sonnet 2 pairing and then pair it again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Charney Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 I think I tried that, I'll ask Alyssa at MedEl tomorrow its super strange, too bad I didn't know earlier I was at my most recent mapping session, could have had my audiologist figure it out!

Momtocikids Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 We’ve done this and more with the audiologists at Medel, and even had them check with the engineers, only to be unable to pair any of my sons’ 4 Sonnet 2s to the audiokey. Only audiolink shows up. Audiostream is working and paired but audiokey will not work, so it is an unusable app for them. Multiple attempts with their iPhones, forgetting devices, using cellular instead of WiFi, and many other ideas were tried. I’m beginning to think the internals are the problem. I’m wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dani Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 @Momtocikids Do your kids use FineTuner or FineTuner Echo as remote control? This is something their audiologist has to configure within Sonnet. If they use the latter then AudioKey should work. If they use FineTuner (w/o "Echo") then Audiokey can't be activated for use. In this case AudioKey is only working in combo with AudioLink. At least this is my state of knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.J. Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 Interesting question! It's been sort of an adjustment going from changing batteries from once/twice a week for 30+ years, to once/twice a day now! LOL. I've been using both options: rechargeable during the week and disposable during the weekends. Sorry if this is off-topic, but I noticed on a post somewhere that you can get disposable batteries paid for by your insurance if you go through Med-El? Does that still apply, if so, how does that work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted March 1, 2022 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 @R.J. It depends on your insurance. My insurance works with Med-El quarterly battery shipments. Just contact your CSR at Med-El US and ask him/her to check for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
