[NFB-DB] rechargeable hearing aids

[pmdonahue2 at gmail.com]

Good evening everyone,

	I use rechargeable hearing aids and love them! My charging case remains plugged in at all times and I have not had trouble with them going out when the charger is plugged in. For $10,000 for the pare I had better not have these issues. They work far better than the battery opperated hearing aids I had. I was glad to kiss them good by.

Personally, I have battery operated ones still. And honestly, feel like they are better and more reliable anyways especially for DeafBlind. Plus we do more streaming  than sighted folks. My audiologist was actually terrified to give me rechargeable considering the amount of streaming audiobooks,  conference calls and just using VoiceOver on my phone.
