HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted February 3, 2021 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 @MED-EL Moderator Does the AudioStream use the same disposable battery pack as Sonnet 1? Is the special battery adapter mentioned with AudioStream a special rechargeable battery adapter or a special disposable battery pack?

In order to use AudioStream you need the latest battery pack frame (available to rechargeable and disposable batteries). The new battery pack frames are marked with a WiFi symbol. Your local MED-EL team can order it together with the AudioStream for you Best, Verena Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted February 3, 2021 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 @MED-EL Moderator oh.... there are 2 special battery parts for AudioStream. One for disposable batteries and one for rechargeable batteries. So someone who sometimes uses rechargeable batteries and sometimes uses disposable batteries would need both special battery parts. Is there going to be a support section on AudioStream explaining all of this? Does the AudioStream work better with rechargeable batteries or disposable batteries? So much to learn! Thanks for your help Med-El ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MED-EL Moderator Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Hi @Mary Beth, it just got confirmed from our product experts that there is no difference in performance of AudioStream: You get the same quality with both battery types. So it's up to your personal preference Best, Verena Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted February 4, 2021 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 @MED-EL Moderator Thank you Verena. That is terrific to know. Some days I stream audiobooks for hours while doing other tasks. I am glad the AudioStream sound quality is the same with disposable and rechargeable batteries. Streaming shortens battery life so I will choose disposable batteries for long lasting streaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
