Oticon More Rechargeable Severe Uneven Battery Drain

Had my 2nd set of replaced More aids upgraded to 1.4 yesterday, while they did stream to only the left while I had my iPhone 12 mini in my right pants pocket they did switch when I put the phone on the other side.
Not noticing any real difference, they would do that with 1.3 also.

Still concerned with battery drain, now the left is draining more than the right, so it seems to be the batteries or the aids, not the RX difference right to left causing the issue.

I’m going to monitor battery levels more closely for a while and see what shakes out.

Maybe more to do with one aid being a master that then streams to the other? The master aid does more work.

That’s what I was thinking … along those lines maybe even the “slave” to that master drains quicker if it has to take the signal? No idea!

Only Phonak have a master Aid. All other brands DO NOT.

AH!! Verrrry interesting! I’ve been locked up in the Phonak world for so many years I had no idea.

That is why I don’t use the switch on my aids if I can do it any other way.

@michael.letizia: Exactly! That’s why I have a Remote!

I just had the buttons fail on one of My Mores.
Had them replaced under Warranty.
First lost the Detent then failed completely a few days later

Yup … them PRC 9-year-olds mean well, but …

I wear mine around my neck, sometimes under my shirt

I don’t have Oticon’s but I always use a remote for my Phonak’s for this very reason. The buttons failing!

@michael.letizia

I have had OPN, S1 and now More, first time I had a button problem.
I’ll think about changing my ways, but now with the answer call option I’ll be using them even more on the Mores’ (Pun intended)

Asking for a friend. What do you choose if only the BEST will do if Oticon is only very good?

@prodigyplace: Whatever you find works the best for YOU, of course, because everyone’s hearing needs are different.

It is so much fun to pick on you. Sorry you settled only for very good LOL
