actually give me NO more breaks. While visiting friends during our soccer weekend in Seattle, Emily was playing nerf basketball w/ her friend. Somehow her implant fell off her head on to the hardwood floors, breaking one of our brand new batteries. I wanted to cry. As of right now we have exactly four batteries for four implants. And no additional funds to replace the newly purchased battery. Why on earth are $150 batteries so DARN (insert word of choice there) breakable. In the stress of the moment I ended up getting very angry w/ Emily. But for what??? For playing basketball, for being a typical 8 year old girl. So unfair, so I quickly apologized and gave her a hug. I really should yell at the battery (or the makers of the battery).
I have a bag right now of 7 broken CI batteries. At anywhere from $100-$150 each, that's close to $1,000 gone this year. Ouch.
I will be sending them into AB, and requesting at least a few replacement batteries- sheesh.

I will NEVER complain about HA accessory prices again! $150 for a battery- major ouch. You would definitely expect that they would be a little more durable!
Bummer!
You have the right attitude about it, though. No sense getting mad at your daughter -- it's the battery's fault!
I'll be interested to know if AB gives you any kind of a refund or anything... SEVEN batteries is a lot to have break in such a short period of time!
Oh that's not cool. Hearing Aids and Implant and accessories are so expensive especially since insurance doesnt cover them. I found you from a link .
