again, it's a matter of the load (how much processing there is) and the size of the battery. The more processing, the higher the load, the bigger the drain on the battery. hearing aides for small to medium hearing loss, not using wireless have pretty small demands on the battery. The more profound the loss, the more wireless activity, the higher the load. The apple airpods have (arguably) daft amounts of processing (but it's why they do seamless switching between devices and happily connect to their phone/ipad/laptop from many feet away).
I'm not privy to the precise figures for any of the internals (hearing aid, cochlear processor, airpods) but the engineering trade-offs are pretty much textbook material for the fundamental considerations. The internal details matter, a lot ... but without comparative teardowns, lab testing and instrumentation, it's all a bit handwavy ;> In any event, as a consumer everyone needs to decide what meets *their* requirements, w.r.t. usage modes, battery life, water resistance, etc. Keith Bierman [email protected] 303 997 2749 On Tue, Oct 29, 2019 at 10:16 AM Terri Hedgpeth <[email protected]> wrote: > If that was correct, why than do rechargeable hearing aids last for days > on a charge, and for four days on a small wafer battery? > > > > *From:* [email protected] <[email protected]> *On Behalf Of > *Sieghard Weitzel > *Sent:* Monday, October 28, 2019 9:16 PM > *To:* [email protected] > *Subject:* RE: Apple Newsroom: Apple reveals new AirPods Pro, available > October 30 > > > > It will be a long time before battery technology is advanced enough to > offer 8 or 10 hours in such a tiny design. > > Maybe they could design a hat with solar panels which wirelessly charges > your Airpods while they are in your ear.
