1295218 2012-08-19 00:21:00 My nephew in England who was born deaf and had a cochlear implant at 18months of age (now 22) originally had a battery pack in a chest harness was it took 2 AA batteries that had to be changed every day, now has a smaller unit that just sits in his shirt pocket and the batteries last all week, not sure what batteries it uses now must be some small round ones as the unit is so small

Does he prefer a "shirt pocket" version or is he not able to use a behind-the-ear processor?
