Phonak Audéo Sphere

Would you know the max power output of implant vs regular 675’s? It’s hard to find specs other than size and weight and capacity (mAh). I did find somewhere that implant 675’s hold fewer mAh than regular 675’s, but they still hold a lot.

The hearing aids are water proof, but the receivers are not.
Change the receivers and everything will work ok. Next time avoid to work out and swim with the hearing aids.

So, hum, if thingies behind your ears are 100% waterproof but the receivers are not, then, technically, you cannot call your HAs waterproof, I guess…

Can’t find it so far. I’ll try to look for it. However, some time ago I have read that Lithium-ion batteries (generally rechargeables) provide more stable and more powerful current to power advanced features.

I would prefer disposables because sometimes I need to be available for 24 hours. Nevertheless, I understand there are drawbacks to that option, and I have chosen rechargeables to get the most benefit possible from HAs…

For example, the Phonak motion sensor and automatically changed directivity of mics during walking with a friend work great for me. This feature is available only in rechargeable Phonak HAs.

Does anyone here know what part of the aid would cause that loud WIND noise in one aid?

Microphone failure could be it, so that’s in the “bean” housing.

OK, that makes sense, cuz the speaker is in my EAR, and it was my hair that was dripping sweat after the workout. I bet that little ol’ Precious Pink 312 just sat in a puddle of salty water for too many minutes.

Bummer. It’s a goner now.

Funny aside … When my 312s failed, I got out my old Marvels and put the same batteries in them. Only this morning did I realize that I went an entire day with 312 batteries in my older aids that take size 13! Yep. It looks like I can use the smaller batteries in my old Marvels (and they work just fine!), but no way can a size 13 battery fit in the slimmer battery compartment of my 312s. I had a senior moment’s GUFFAW over that one.

Re accessory purchase to get discount at wholesalehearing, how much was the discount? I am considering the PartnerMic. I guess that would count.

If they are either Slimtips or C.Shells, and KS10s are Audeo Paradise, they will fit, as far as I know. If the receivers are “molded in”, you’ll need that fitting tool (thin prong) to put the reveivers into the Spheres

I think it was 20%, but I didn’t keep it.

The New Infinio Sphere have completely new receivers - so I would highly doubt it . they have a new pin system to help maintain the water resistant levels in the new line. The Boys at Wholesale hearing would be able to make new custom Moulds for you though if you send in an impression to them. I do some work with them so that wouldn’t be an issue I wouldn’t have thought.

That would make sense, but I was kind of hoping they would be backward compatible with the older receivers. Maybe I’ll start off at a high street store like Boots to get the cShells and get the aids from WholesaleHearing. I’ll let the noise die down first and see what the reviews are like.

@Bimodal_user

Good to know. So the SDS4 stuff works for Marvel/Paradise/Lumity, but nothing before, or after.

Apologies @DaveUK

So, it appears the SDS4 receivers won’t fit in Infinio hearing aids. But, will they fit in SDS4 Domes or Slimtips?

It would for cShell which obviously are made to fit.

Yeah I can’t see why not…and the wax filters I wonder?

Done a quick search on UK sellers, and can’t see SDS 6.0 Receivers on any yet. I have seen SDS 6.0 domes though!!
