Charging tips

at the start of each day.

How long does charging take?

X After 30 minutes, it is possible to use your hearing aids up to 6

hours.

X Charging times vary due to use and age of power cell.

What if I forget to charge my hearing aids?

X Your hearing aids will automatically switch off when the power

cell is empty. Charge the hearing aids as soon as possible.

X Hearing aids which have not been charged for over 6 months

may be damaged due to unrecoverable deep-discharge of the
