Thank you, Rachael! Great tips! True story... Back in 2022, I honeymooned in Jamaica with rechargeable KS10 BTEs for a severe hearing loss. But forgot the charger. Nothing for sale on the island, of course. But here's the catch. No online seller would ship expedited overseas! Not Costco, not Phonak, not Amazon, not even eBay. In the words of the Ancient Mariner... Water, water everywhere (chargers online). Nor any drop to drink (in Jamaica)!
I have the Unitron chargeable hearing aids. I forgot the charger one time when I went out of town, BIG MISTAKE! so luckily I have an extra pair of hearing aids as a spare that require batteries. It is so vital you have a spare with you or make a checklist before you travel out of town!

Great question! If you have yellow desiccant packs, they will need replacement when they turn clear/white. If you have dark blue packs, you will need to change when they turn hot pink. Timing will depend on how much moisture is in your environment, but most of my patients can go 2-3 months between changes!
She does a wonderful job presenting her subject.. When I look at her video it appears she is leaning into the camera I don’t know why but this is my thought Thanks
5:22pm EST 12/26 Let me add a 6TH THING: be certain that your audiologist has TRANSITIONED THE E-MAIL ADDRESS of the app associated with your hearing aids. My wife needed to REINSTALL the app over Christmas weekend but the CONFIRMATION CODE went to her audiologist’s e-mail address (OUT on holiday), NOT HERS!! No hearing aids ALL WEEKEND!
@@robertmooney1393actually it's more of a free optional add on plus it opens up a world of possibilities with your hearing aids also some do require it like OTC hearing aids
I am recently returned from a 3 week trip to South America and a cruise. Several things: Converters don't seem to give as full a charge - my HA usually last 16-18 hour, but they died at 12 from converted power. Trying to use airlines' or tour operators earbuds are useless. Looking for an answer. However, many planes have a charging plug, use it for your HA as well as your phone, etc, especially on long flights. Closed caption is great, but not on everything. However, many museums have apps that actually work! Safe travels!
