Ted,

Have you tried tweaking your map a slight bit to reduce the power usage?

(Its , I am , not Bob. LOL) You can tweak any map at any

time at the audie's office. In cases where the map has a high power draw,

sometimes it can be tweaked down just a bit without too much impact and get

more battery life.

Nope, Ted, even in the land of OZ, headphones, whether they be intefaced

with the CI via DAI or Telecoil, will not affect battery life at all.

Honest! Save me fron the proof. unless you insist..

Bob and Ted,

Actually, I do believe that Ted is right. The more you crank up the CI

the more power it has to use. When my batteries are about to croak, and its

not convenient for me to change them, and I can do it safely, I turn the CI

down a bit to keep it alive longer. It works.

Give a person a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a person to use the

Internet and they won't bother you for weeks.

For sure!

For sure again

BUT, whether access is via DAI or Telecoll via whatever ALD, the battery

life will not be directly impacted.

The battery load in all CIs is in feed to the headpiece, in a modulated FM

signal, onward to implanted electronics!

Trust in me on this, just as you do President Bush.....

Humidity, and the amount of noise " listened to " can affect the battery life,

too. So, if you're in a humid climate, or do a lot of exercising that works up

a sweat while wearing the CI, the batteries might not last as long as usual,

too.

Re: Electricians/ /Cin OT

Proof not required, Bob. I'll take your word for it. It just seems like

they dont last as long. It must be the Down Under factor ;-)
