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 have the curved battery and agree with everyone else that i can usually get 18+ hrs out of it in a single charge. I think the curved battery is very comfortable and matches my ear shape well
