Aye, I have black tape over a myriad of LED’s in my bedroom (TV, cable box, various chargers). I was expecting these LED’s to turn off after inactivity, but they don’t. Tape will be my next step here, likely.

How have you found the noise on the microphones so far-I know the position has changed to decrease this? I have long fine hair and usually tuck it behind my ears. With a ric this means there isn’t enough room or it’s very noisy on the microphone as I try to do this. Is it narrower ? Apologies as unless you have long hair this may be difficult to answer! I know I am on the edge of customs with my hearing & will need to move to ric at some point. As a child I had and was delighted to move away from this due to hair noise.

I’m not sure I’m the best person to ask about hair noise - my hair comes down to exactly wiping the top of the hearing aid. It’s neither covering it, nor short of it, exactly on it. That being said, I have not noticed any real change in hair noise, despite their marketing hype otherwise.

First full day yesterday, went to bed with a 60% charge left. Not too bad.

Question for those of you with the Widex Moment SmartRIC aids, is there any way to turn the aids off other than placing them in the SmartRIC charger? I’ve read several comments from others stating you can, but not much clarity on how.

After you put them in their case you just press the button on the bottom of the case to turn them off. I think you have to hold the button down for a few seconds. They will remain off in the case and will turn back on when you remove them. I also think, not sure, that you have to press that button again to get the case to charge them then next time you put them in the case. You can turn the volume “off” in the app which also seems to turn them off.

speaking to Widex about this, the design of the smart is such that you can’t turn them off unless back in their case. however, if you mean the generation before the smart RICs, you should be able to hold down the button from what I recall, to turn them right off
