Re: Nucleuscontour 24 3G battery life

[Guest guest]

have you been remapped lately?

Do you have your processor set on more volume or sensitivity?

The above are both factors which could affect the number of hours you are

getting on your batteries.

Happy Hearing!

Subject: Nucleuscontour 24 3G battery life

Hello Group,

I know I seldom post, but I do read the posts here often. I usually get about

45-50 hours per set of batteries from Power One from last years order, &

recently received a new order of 300 batteries that expire in 2014. Problem is,

I am not getting the 50 hours of battery life like with the last order batch. My

hours go now from 38 hours & sometimes 45-50 hours. My spare processor, which I

never wear, does no better. I never get exposed to loud noises or change my

volume setting, and I do use my dry & store every night. Anyone have any ideas?

I am planning to get a Nuke 5 early next year. Thanks for your help....Barry in

Pa.

Carol,

Using the same program, volume, & I never touch my volume settings, ever. Saw

my Audi a little over a year ago, & she said my hearing was fine as it was.

Using the same map for about four years now. Battery life for four years were 50

hours, until I received a new batch of batteries recently & now startd having

problems with reduced battery life. The only way I can afford buying a Nuke 5 is

to wait until after the end of this year, when Cochlear will no longer repair

the Nucleuscontour 24, & then the insurance company I have will help me simply

because when they rejects me early this year, they said it was only because

Cochlear was still doing repairs. Thanks...Barry in Pa.
