Hey, sorry for the slow reply. I have Resound Danalogic I-fit Cs91w hearing aid on the left ear which uses cell batteries- I don't think there is any way of recharging these...
But my Cochlear implant is a Cochlear nucleus 6, which has the option of a rechargable battery or disposable one like my hearing aid. The disposable one uses the same batteries as my hearing aids except it uses 2 at once, and the batteries last about 25 hours as opposed to 2 weeks on the hearing aid (thats the difference in power it uses).
These are the disposable batteries...

Just for the cochlear. If it was for my hearing aid it would be 3 months with 1 packet... Now you can probably understand why the rechargable route makes sense to me.

This is the "dock" I can use the charge the rechargable batteries. Doing up to 4 at a time. These batteries fully charged last about 16hrs so a bit less, but way more eco friendly!!

^ No usb charging option, just different types of mains plugs.. Which is fine if you're not planning to travel by bike for months at a time lol.

Good thread, followed with interest.
If you post up the model of your hearing aids I might find time to look into the charging.
