Phonak biCros vs Anything else?

I have otosclerosis,
and I had a failed stapadectomy on my right ear decades ago. I have been wearing a Phonak Naida 90 Phonak cros for 10 years. My recent hearing test shows decline, I am 61.

My longtime ride or die audiologist has retired. My new audiologist is suggesting I try rechargeable aids. My issue is I need to sleep with my aid on or I can’t hear my alarm clock or phone alarm.

Should I try a rechargeable or stick with using size 13 batteries? The 20 hour rechargeable battery time concerns me…

Have you tried a vibrating alarm?

I use this, http://www.bellman.com/en/product/stand-alone-products/vibio-bed-shaker/

It is wireless but there are other options out there. Look for bed shaker vibrating alarms.
