Helgeo Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 I get 2 days with 675 batteries and about 8 hours with the rechargeable ones on my Sonnet. A bit disappointed by the short life of the rechargeable ones, I have 3 of them and often need to use them all in a single day. I always carry a pack of disposable 675's in case I forget to charge or forget to bring the charger when going a way for a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted October 19, 2017 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 Along with the pack of disposable batteries as back up, I also bring the disposable battery pack. Sometimes when I travel I just switch to disposable batteries completely. It's easier to pack. However I find my Sonnets actually sound better when using the rechargeable batteries. My standard rechargeable batteries start off getting 10.5 hours but decrease steadily from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10underpar Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 I'm getting only 31 hours. MedEl suggests there is something defective in my less than month old device! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted May 2, 2018 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 @10underpar Which brand of disposable batteries are you using? Power One Implant? They work great for me, but I also get only two 16 hour listening days and a bit of the third day. However, like I mentioned in the other thread, I never get anywhere near the up to hours that Med-El lists on any processor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted May 8, 2018 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 There is also a question of how much of power do your hearing maps require? It is dependable of a degree of individual hearing loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Featherston Posted May 9, 2018 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 @Ivana Marinac - how can that be? Doesn't the CI system bypass the non-functional inner ear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kara of Canada Posted May 9, 2018 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted May 9, 2018 Well sort of @Mary Featherston the electrode does stimulate the hair cells which work or not which is what the brain will receive. What Ivana is trying to say is each persons Mapping is so individual that we cannot say who will use more power as some electrodes require more power than others which is also based on how much or what you can hear which is determined by your Audi during the activation and further testing and mappings.

Ah, thank you, Kara, that makes sense, I just misunderstood Ivana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
