Re: Batteries..How to remove

[Guest guest]

I pull off the battery cover of my 3G and leave the batteries in when I put

it into the D & S every night. I can't say enough good things about the D & S!!

I'm not sure which processor you havenor what type of batteries, but I

have the Nucleus ESprit processor and I just slide the battery cover

off, push the batteries through as far as they will go, then use the

magnetic head coil to finish taking them out..really simple process for

me, but like I said.. not sure which processor you have.

Hope this was helpful to you. If not, I'm sure someone will be able to

help you out here..

NONONO.. No question is stupid, nor should you be embarrassed to ask

it!!!

I've got the Freedom, and I use the corner of the cardboard

battery 6 pack. But I think you can use the hook that goes behind

your ear, too.

Dear : As wrote, no reason at all for embarrassment!

Matter of fact, you raised a very interesting topic, where opinion

has varied, depending on who you read, on whether to remove or not

remove batteries when placing the CI/HA in a drying device. Despite

what your audie says, contemporary wisdom says that yes, the battery

compartment should be opened, but it is not necessary to physically

remove the cells before placing the device in the dryer.

Katy Pindzola of Ear Technology Corp., maker of the popular Dry and

Store device, wrote an article on this very issue in the October

2005 issue of Hearing Product Report, a trade magazine that I

receive. In brief, studies have found that battery life may actually

be enhanced by leaving them in device during the drying cycle!

Here's the article:

Connie,

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who uses the ear hook to pop out the

batteries! They weren't easy to get out until I hit on that idea. I used my car

keys prior to the ear hook. :-)

As for the Dry & Store, it depends for me but I usually remove the battery

holder out of the BTE and put the whole kaboodle in the box. I did hear from my

audi that you really need to be careful with the holder as you can break it

easily especially the end part where you push it into the BTE.

On the 3G all the batteries are easy to remove. On the Freedom the bottom

battery is harder to remove and I have to push harder to get it out.

Just nudge the batteries out with the earhook. Very sinple.

Happy Hearing!

I have a Tempo+ processor. I don't have a dry n store. I have a

container that looks like a oversized pill bottle (called a drying

beaker) and there's a drying disk in it. I put the whole unit/minus

batteries in it each evening. It was suggested to do this nitely

because of the high humidity this time of the year. I'm going to try

some of these tips... Thanks everyone!

I've a friend who has the Med EL.. not sure which model, but she's very

pleased with her results!

Probably a personal decision as to whether you remove the batteries or

not. I sweat overtime in the summer and wear my processor 14-17 hours a

day.. I just remove the battery cover at night and put the processor in

the dry and store.. the portable one I got which is probably similar to

what you use.. I've never had a moisture problem in almost 5 years of

being implanted... either way.. relatively simple to get the batteries

if you wish to go that route.

Hi, ,

If you have disposable batteries, they can go into your drying unit,

too. Some swear it prolongs the life of the batteries, but that is not proven.

In any case, if you store the processor in the unit overnight, you can do it

minus the batteries about once a week to be sure everything gets really dry.

Nice to meet you.
