The charger is mains operated but it also holds 3 days worth of extra charge itself for portable (cable free) charging – great for weekends away.
There is a place in the charger to insert a drying crystal capsule to dry out moisture in the hearing aids. This helps to reduce moisture damage and performance deterioration.

It is great for those who maybe stream audio a lot and drain their batteries a bit quicker, or those who travel a lot. Full day use in 3 hours charge, or 3 1/2 hours use in just 7 minutes of charging.

‘Hearing Care Anywhere’!
Starkey now offer remote programming assistance via the Starkey THRIVE App (see above)
This allows us to fine tune your hearing aids whilst you stay at home. This can be a key part of the initial set-up by allowing us to make small tweaks here and there until we get to the best set up for you, without you having to make repeated trips in to see us.
Remote care must be initialised during first fit and then remote care is asynchronous (meaning we send the changes to you via the app for you to upload in your own time; it is not done via live video call).
