** Calculation of 800 batteries is based on an average of 5 days per battery, with life expectancy of hearing aid at 5-6year.
***16hrs of battery on a single charge, including 8hrs of everyday listening, 4hrs of Bluetooth streaming and 4 hours of TV streaming.
Battery life may be minimally reduced when using ActiveVent receiver.
