Hi. Does anyone else have these ? I got them on Wednesday supplied by the NHS and was told the charge would last 24hrs but so far it’s only lasting 12 hours.
It’s going to be difficult this weekend as we’re going away, so we’ll be staying up later and there not going to last.

A friend came round today who commented that after a couple of years, his NHS Phonaks only lasted 8 hours. DH has the replaceable batteries thank goodness!

I have the Phonak rechargeable aids as well. I find 12 hours is about the limit and charge mine overnight. I'm having mine checked next week so I'll ask about the time. Sorry I can't be any help Erica23

Thank you for the replies. I don’t think I’ve thought this through, I just jumped at the chance of doing away with the fiddly batteries and having to ring up every few weeks to get new batteries, never thought about how long the charge would last.
Fortunately it doesn’t seem to take long to charge them up, so hopefully we’ll be back in our hotel room late afternoon and I can charge them up again.
