Either that or I have the spirit of "Lug"wig Beethoven in my ruddy right ear..
My hearing aids beep at me when the battery is low but I discovered the batteries last a week so I changed them every weekend.
It must be to do with the work they do because the left battery ran out the day before the right one but it was easier just to change them on the same day. The batteries cost bugger all, I buy packs of 100 - and still have 80 left
I was amazed it took so long for you to get one, I booked an appointment and had the hearing aids with in 6 weeks (as I said they came from the Netherlands). I thought that was very good especially as they are free as part of Medicare.
You can order others if you want them with things such as Bluetooth (to connect to your phone or TV) or hearing aid loops but they cost extra. The basic set was good enough and I really should wear them but I have to get into the habit of it.
They don't do anything for tinnitus but I don't notice it anyway
