Starkey Surflink Mobile 2

THE VERY FIRST TIME I USE IT WAS IN THE OFFICE. IT WAS NICE AND CLEAR. BUT WHEN I GOT HOME, I WAS TALKING TO MY AUNT FOR ABOUT 10 MIN. MY HEARING AID SAID BATTERY BOTH HA. THEN IT WENT DEAD AND DISCONNECT THE CALLER. I HAVE THE GOLD HEARING AID BY STARKEY, WHICH IS HIGH POWER. SO I THOUGHT MY HA NEED A BATTERY. SO, I REPLACED IT. THE NEXT DAY I RECEIVED ANOTHER CALL BUT THIS TIME IT LET ME TALK FOR ABOUT 30 SECOND THEN SAID BATTERY AND SHUT DOWN AGAIN AND CUT OFF THE CALLER. I CHANGE BATTERY AGAIN SO IT THEN HAPPEN AGAIN BUT THIS TIME WHEN IT CUT OFF I OPEN THE BATTERY DOOR ON HA AND PUT IT BACK IN MY EAR. IT SOUND FINE. THE BATTERY WAS NOT DEAD. I TOOK THE SURFLINK MOBILE BACK TO MY AUDIOLOGIST. EXPLAN WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH THE SURFLINK AND HE CALL THE COMPANY AND THEY SAID IT WAS USING A LOT OF POWER. SO, I NEED TO BUY THESE EXPENSE BATTERIES TO USE IN MY HA. THE BATTERY IM USING IS THE ONE I BROUGHT FROM THE HA COMPANY THEY SUPPOSE TO BE GOOD BATTERIES. THE ONES I NEED TO USE FOR THE SURFLINK MOBILE COST $25 FOR PACK OF 40. I CAN GO TO COSTCO TO BUY A PACK(40) OF BATTERIES FOR $13. BUT THEY WONT WORK GOOD (MATTER OF FACT ANY BATTERY U BUY OVER THE COUNTER WONT GOOD) WITH MY GOLD STARKEY HA WITH THE SURFLINK. THE SURLINK IS SCREAMING WHEN U ARE ON THE PHONE. IT IS DRAINING THE BATTERY OR THE BATTERY IN THE HA CAN'T HANDLE THE LOAD. ITS IS YOUR CHOICE IF U WANT TO BUY THE EXPENSE BATTERY SO THAT U CAN TALK ON THE PHONE WITH THE SURFLINK. I HAVE NOT TRY THE NEW BATTERY FROM STARKEY. I'M PLANNING ON TRYING TO SEE IF IT WORKS AND HOW LONG THE BATTERY LIFE WOULD BE.

Starkey should be ashamed. This should sell for about $20.00. Works great for adjusting hearing aids, phone is another matter, BAD!

Excellent device!!!! The prefect compliment to your Starkey hearing aids!

works well, good battery life. answers the home phone, but can't make a call using it. maybe it's me. I'm happy with it.
