Introducing: Rechargeable Hearing Aids](https://blog.chsc.org/blog/say-goodbye-to-batteries-introducing-rechargeable-hearing-aids) [Rachel Lester, BS, Audiology Intern](https://blog.chsc.org/blog/author/rachel-lester-bs-audiology-intern) | Posted on April 04, 2018 [![](https://blog.chsc.org/hubfs/CHSC-Nov2017/Images/blog-hero.jpg)](https://blog.chsc.org/blog/say-goodbye-to-batteries-introducing-rechargeable-hearing-aids) One of the top complaints of those who wear [hearing aids](https://www.chsc.org/hearing-aids/#) centers around batteries. Batteries typically last for three days to two weeks depending on the size of the battery, the type of [hearing loss](https://blog.chsc.org/blog/what-is-a-hearing-communication-disorder), and the size and type of the hearing aid.

It involves surrounding yourself with individuals that will support you in your journey, being knowledgeable regarding your rights, and being able to voice your rights to others. Advocating for yourself will not only lead to success in life, but it will help break down barriers and educate others about [hearing loss](https://blog.chsc.org/blog/what-is-a-hearing-communication-disorder). Living with a disability presents challenges, but fear not - with the appropriate support systems, strategies, and knowledge, you can learn to improve your quality of life.  [Read More](https://blog.chsc.org/blog/hearing-loss-be-your-own-self-advocate) Tags: [Audiology](https://blog.chsc.org/blog/topic/audiology), [Communication](https://blog.chsc.org/blog/topic/communication), [Hearing](https://blog.chsc.org/blog/topic/hearing), [Support](https://blog.chsc.org/blog/topic/support), [Hearing Loss](https://blog.chsc.org/blog/topic/hearing-loss) ## [6 Signs You May Have Hearing Loss](https://blog.chsc.org/blog/6-signs-you-may-have-hearing-loss) [Rachel Lester, BS, Audiology Intern](https://blog.chsc.org/blog/author/rachel-lester-bs-audiology-intern) | Posted on April 04, 2018 [![Couple watching TV](https://blog.chsc.org/hubfs/Couple%20watching%20TV.jpg)](https://blog.chsc.org/blog/6-signs-you-may-have-hearing-loss) [Hearing loss](https://blog.chsc.org/blog/what-is-a-hearing-communication-disorder) typically presents gradually and goes unnoticed for quite some time until it starts interfering with daily communication.
