Thank you! Just made my day and saved a trip to the audiologist.

Yay!

Interesting. I've had this problem during the five or six years I've had Phonak rechargeables, first Marvel, then Paradise. Phonak replaced the case (still had the problem, but less often), then upgraded the whole set (still happens, but less often). I was always able to restart the charge, without the 30/30 sec. trick, but I was hoping you'd say they were actually charged and the reset just woke them up. Sigh. Bummer to find them uncharged when I'm ready to go out the door!

I am so sorry that is happening to you! I don’t see it as much in the Phonak line as I do in the Unitron models. If it was me I would have your provider send the aids in for repair/battery replacement.

@@siouxfallsaudiologyassocia7609 Been there, done that. That's how I ended up with the upgrade, bless its two-channel Bluetooth. It's only happened a couple of times with the Paradise in a couple of years. Glad to know, though, it's not just me!
