I am looking to buy a pair of Phonak Paradise or Lumity with disposable batteries. Thanks

I guess I am on my own with this one. Anyway, when the batteries reach their EOL I will measure them and do some research on replacements. I will report back here In due course.

Does anyone have any knowledge of the rechargeable batteries in the Signia Pure AX. These are the ones that came after the induction charged models. I took the shells off my HA's and the battery looks to be quite accessible for a competent DIY person. However, there is a spot welded tab right...

I don’t perceive any issues with the 85db receiver and speech rescue enabled for my right ear so I will stick with that. Many thanks for all your help.

Disabling speech rescue for my left ear has done the trick. Absolutely no chirps or beeps now. One more question:- Do you think the 85db receiver is OK for my right ear or would you recommend going to a 100db. I just wonder if using speech rescue for that ear keeps things within range of the...

I think this has been mentioned before but I cannot find it so I will throw it out anew. Although I do not get feedback using closed grip tips, I get an intermittent very low level “squeal” which sounds just like feedback squeal but much quieter. It happens in any environment and occurs every...

Many thanks for all that info.

I am a long-time Phonak user now trying Oticon. I read many favourable posts about Oticon and so far I prefer them to Phonak. Due to circumstances I have acquired a pair of Opn 2 and a pair of Real 3. Sense tells me that the Reals are the ones that I “should” prefer but I find myself...
