All,
Just a quick note on the only disposable battery hearing aid Costco sells, Jabra Enhance Pro 20 EP262 or may be called 13RIC.

Whatever they installed first lasted 8-1/2 days before I heard my right side chime. No streaming at all, used the remote control very little.

I’ve replaced th first set with the Power One size 13 batteries. If nothing else, the packaging is better for me with the Power One. You don’t need scissors to open them. If they just last as well. We’ll see.

As to that duration of over 8 days, whats your opinions on just choosing a day of the week to change them so you’re not caught flatfooted with a dying hearing aid. 8-1/2 day duration calculates at 86 battereis a year. 7 days calculates at 104 batteries a year, a difference of only 18 batteries a year. What say you?

I get variable use out of batteries, from 7 to 16 days. With that variability, I’ll wait for the chimes, especially since I get 1-2 hours after the 1st chime. That’s with EP 10s. I’d do more testing - the next battery or batch of batteries may last longer or not as long.

Of course, I’m still in early trial period. If the next batch lasts more than 7 days, I’ll probably choose to change them weekly.
