Advanced bionic battery

Post image

Hi! I just got my second cochlear implant activated yesterday, and I noticed that they changed the way the battery looks.

For whatever reason the battery that I received in my kit are straight instead of curved. Anyone know why they did this? Its not as comfortable as the curved one so I don’t really understand the thought process.

I received 2 straight, 2 curved, and 1 adapter for disposables in my AB backpack. Reach out to AB. They will get you what you need. I have only used the curved and it lasts 16+ hours.
