My battery doesn't last as long as expected.

Are you using the right batteries?
Make sure they're the ones we recommend – 675 (PR44) zinc air batteries designed for cochlear implants. If you are using the Aqua+ accessory you'll need to change to another type of battery. You can find a list of batteries on page 3 of the Aqua+ for Kanso® User Guide. Note: Let new disposable batteries stand for a few seconds after you peel off their plastic cover and before you put them into your sound processor. -
Has your sound processor been programmed recently?
If it has, this can result in a shorter battery life than before. -
Are you using wireless accessories more than usual?
If you are, this can also result in shorter battery life. -
Are you using a retention aid?
Make sure you're using one we recommend. Note: You should replace batteries as you need to, as battery life varies based on your type of implant and the thickness of your skin. We designed the Kanso® Sound Processor to give you about 16 hours of battery life for typical use. However, this may vary based on your settings and hearing situations.
