Question

What is the battery life of the Oticon Medical Streamer?

Answer

The Oticon Medical Streamer battery should typically last for about 10 hours of use.  When used for FM streaming, there is more current drain.  For children in the classroom, you can guarantee that you can get a full 8 hours, which is a good day's worth of streaming.

This Ask the Expert was taken from the CEU webinar, The Ponto Bone Anchored System – The Right Choice for Pediatrics.  More information on the Oticon Medical Streamer can also be found here
