Do your i90s put themselves in spheric mode for no reason?

I’ve had the i90 spheres for 7 months. I had the audiologist turn off automatic Sphere mode and set it up as manual program 1.

On at least three occasions, they have put themselves into spheric mode for no reason. It seems to happen when I have my phone in my pocket and one side (usually the right side) loses connection with the other for a few seconds.

If I happen to be in a quiet setting, I may not notice until the start signalling a low battery warning half way through the day. Then it’s panic mode because I don’t carry my charger around with me.

BTW I seldom use the Phonak app, so it’s not that.

Has this happened to you?

Is there any way you are accidentally halting the button down longer than a volume change? If sphere has truly been removed from autosense then I’d think you’re doing something to cause it to change program.

You would think. And I’ve puzzled over this. But it just takes too long to actually execute a program change, and then the audible tone is different. But I do get the occasional glitch, where one one disconnects from the other for a few seconds, and in suspect it is then that this happens.

Without the intelligence gathered by seeing what the aids are doing by looking at the app (maybe your could get data via target? I dunno) it is really hard to guess what is going on. With paradise aids an odd state or a noise program could suck the batteries down fast. I went >16 hours with mine yesterday. 63% in one, 65% in the other. Went to a noisy ice cream shop where we sat around talking for quite a while. (Too long, we should have been getting dinner ready, and maybe wouldn’t have had to grill in the rain and dark!) I streamed for hours, no idea how many.
